Winter in Vermont... I mean, Virginia

We woke up yesterday morning and it was 0 degrees out, and had 10 inches of new snowy powder on the ground. Just so you know, we live in Virginia, not Vermont!!!! ZERO??? Why do you think I moved to Virginia in the first place? Today it was a balmy five degrees when we woke up.

Tucker did pretty well in the snow yesterday, once we figured out how to keep the snow from going in his boots. When Ben goes off romping through the snow, Tucker thinks it looks like so much fun that he tries, too. Unfortunately, deep snow LOOKS like more fun to Tucker than it actually is, and he usually trips and falls into it and then gets upset.

Ben, on the other hand, turned into a snow wolf several times yesterday. If you scroll down you can see him staring at us from inside the garden. Apparently one area of the garden fence has come down, and Ben figured it out and got inside the garden--and then couldn't get out. He waited there for at least 15 minutes until one of us came outside to let him out the garden gate.
