Is it When Yet?

Um. I dunno. Mom went out to check after dinner last night, and while the snow piles were very small, they were still there. We will all know when Mom looks outside in the morning, when the sun comes up.

I love my kitty condo, and yes, I have explored the bookcase.

In the meantime, Charliepuss from Oz has a question. He thinks Mom and I should have a handicap system for those contestants who live in hot places, or where they don't have snow.

Well, it's a nice idea Charliepuss, but sorry, ain't gonna happen.  Charliepuss, you and I have met after the contest started. You see, Mom and I made a list of things to help you pick a "good date."  But that won't really help. Sometimes the weather is warmer than usual, and sometimes it's colder. Sometimes it rains, and the snow melts faster. There's no way of knowing. It's all just a guessing game, really.

Mom and I thought it would melt before March was over! We would have lost the contest, and we live here, where it snows every winter!

Sorry Claude & Marlene, and Kikky, there is still a bit of snow out there, so you are not the winners of the When When Contest.

 Now with all the foolishness of "snow is different than ice," and to make sure there is no funny business going on, Mom went outside to make SURE what is in the picture above is actually SNOW.

Ahem.

Is It When Yet?

The winner of the When When Contest will be determined when Mom looks out the window and doesn't see snow anywhere in the picture. This is the view out the window this morning.
Mom wasn't sure if that stubborn patch of snow was still there, so she zoomed in with her nifty little camera. She could see a very small patch of snow under the bushes.She went outside (in her pj's!) and checked. There is a teeny tiny patch of snow. This means Simba, Claude and Marlene, and Daisy the Pomeranian, you guys did not win the When When Contest.
I'm really sorry.
