Will There Be When?


At the beginning of February, all thoughts turn to When.

Really.

They do.

Everycat starts asking if there will be a When When Contest this year.** 

There really isn't any way to tell. We'll have a When When Contest if there's enough snow on the first of March to make a contest successful. That's almost a month away.

This is what it looked like when Mom and I got up yesterday. Not a whole lot of snow. That's going to change today.

We're supposed to have between 8 and 14 inches of snow today. That's 20 to 35 cm.  The weather guys say when the storm is biggest we will get almost two inches (almost 5 cm) of snow per hour. That's a lot.

Mom has already told her day-hunting boss that she'll be staying home, so we will get a few pictures to update this post during the day.

Paws crossed!

Update: 7:30 AM. The snow has started to fall.

Update: this is about 10:30 AM

Update: This was taken at lunchtime, about 12:30 this afternoon.
Mom went outside and cleaned off about six inches of snow off the metal masheen. The plow guys haven't come by yet.



** What? You've never heard of the world-famous When When Contest? All you have to do to win is guess when all the snow will be gone when Mom and I look out this window in the morning.  It's not as easy as it looks.

    Some of us find that our thoughts turn to When When in November, when the temps in New Hampster start to drop - we don't allow ourselves to delay thinking about the annual guess-fest until February. And it's agony waiting until March 1 to see if it's gonna happen.

    A lot can change in the next few weeks! With this crazy weather, who knows what March 1 is going to look like?
