Happy Snow Days!

The residents of Michael Delving were pleasantly surprised by actual snowfall starting on Sunday. The weather apps tend to overpredict snow through the winter, so it's fun when there's actual snow accumulation. We kicked things off watching the Super Bowl; the Mayor is clearly entranced, as he only rarely gets to watch football on TV. Ela got cozy and got her hair played with.
 The lack of preparation meant that there were some hand-me-down snowsuits, such as Eejee wearing Ela's old suit.

Even the chickadees and junkos have been getting in on the action as we put out bird seed for them.
Here's Eejee's played-out aftermath - happy snow days!

And last but not least, Eejee's turn on the sled.
Hyah, Daddy, Hyah!
