MACINTOSH MONTHLY

This Macintosh Monthly relates to snow. I told you a little while ago in this post that we had two trips to snow but that I was saving one of them for here. Well that was because it was a snow trip that focused entirely around Mr Macintosh. 

He loves snow. He loves to run in it and to chase snowballs in it. He always eats the snowball whenever he catches it too which is pretty hilarious. So when we took our more local snow trip he had a chance to catch and eat some snowballs. We took about a billion photos of him and here are some of the classics.

We had so many photos that we even managed to make a GIF out of him!

He's so funny this dog. He provides us with endless entertainment.

#PETER ON TOUR - THE SNOW EDITION

So this is the last little update about Peter's visit with us. Twice whilst he was here we went in search of snow. The temperatures had been dropping enough that in the hills nearby there was snow. So obviously we had to go and see it, there's not much snow that drops where we live. 

Our first trip was to Big Bear. We'd been there before, but not when there was any snow. There wasn't a lot there this time, but enough in the hills that it was cold and that we enjoyed ourselves. We went for a walk in the hills, mooched around the shops in the town centre, ate some good food and took a stroll from some of the lake. Here's a few pictures. 

This next picture is my favourite from the mini trip. It shows Macintosh in his true walking state. This is what he looks like when he's on a scent trail. He literally flies through the air with no regard for where he's walking or how muddy he's getting. Amazing. 

The second snow trip you'll have to wait to hear about until Macintosh Monthly as it features mostly him. No great surprise there!

LEON - THE ARCTIC STORM

All the local schools were closed this for two days this week with all the petrol stations, shops and restaurants closing too. We were encouraged not to go outside, even the bridges near us were closed or had 15mph restrictions. I've always thought the UK dealt with snow and ice pretty badly, but even then I don't remember panic like this. 

Well in the sunshine state, snow has occurred, even if it is only 3mm of the stuff which stops everything. I'm not complaining though I had two days off work! Still I never imagined a snow day in Florida when I first got the plane out here!!! Maybe that's what everyone here is thinking. WHAT IS THIS STUFF??!!

The largest gathering of snow I could find.
