          The Beast is not concerned with the snow, he can avoid it.

          Just as long as he can go somewhere warm after his intensive birdwatching

          Like the Beast, Penny just avoids touching snow:

          But don’t worry, Goldie, it’s just misplaced snow. Canada is having an early spring, and we’d like our snow back now please for just a few more weeks so we can go skiing.

          To be fair, Heidi, Goldie enjoys the snow as well (see below) – she’s just had enough of it now.

          I would like to second Eva’s request. There are rocks and vegetation showing through the groomed runs at Whistler right now, even at the top. The Olympics start in one year, I hope we get more snow!

          I haven’t skied yet this year! Well, not downhill anyway. I must! I need snow! Also, UK, we seem to have been sent your rain by mistake. Would you like it back in exchange for the snow?

          Well, as long as we’re posting dog pictures ….

          Bichon frise at Westminster Dog Show, or fuzzy pillow from a 1970s conversion van?

          You decide.

          In a slightly related vein, a colleague in London (Ontario) just emailed me to say that she has to go and move her car, since the river is up 9 or 10 feet with all the rain. There are minor floods here and there in Toronto and environs, too.
