Jax's first night, and real snow!

I think we should call him Jax, Harbinger of Snow, because this morning we woke up to this:

Wow!  I thought that noise was a bin truck going past, but I'm guessing it was the snow ploughs :)  Time to use my new boots!

Jax's first night was alright I think - he was a little whiny all evening and he likes to sit very close to people.  When it was time for us to go to sleep, we got ready for bed, got him to go into his crate, and then went into our room and closed the door.  Unfortunately he cried, whined, and occasionally howled and barked for an hour before going to sleep.  We didn't get up, but we were very close to it.  It's a bit worrying - we're in an apartment block and we don't want to cause problems with the neighbours.  He did the same thing at 6:30am when he woke up - we waited until he'd quieted down to go out to him.  Hopefully he's just nervous and needs to get into a routine.

Last night when we went to bed everything looked normal.  This morning, everything is covered in white.  It's amazing how fast the change was - the lake effect, I guess.

Just to prove that we won't lose him in the snow :)

The smaller pond in the park was frozen over.

So much snow!

It's still snowing, hours later.  I think winter has officially started! :)
