Humans get so many things wrong. For example, they think the saying is “April showers bring May flowers,” when it is really “April snows bring Husky glows.”

Silly humans.

Most people’s weather perception of North Carolina comes from the lower elevations to the east of us, but those of us who live in the mountains know that April snows are normal. In fact, Mount Mitchell – the highest elevation mountain in eastern North America and just a few miles from us – has received measurable snow every single month of the year.

Security patrols happen in all weather.

We are supposed to receive snow showers into Saturday, but no telling if that will be the last snow of the season or not for us. We gout outside and enjoyed it no matter what.

Guess how many blurry photographs of me Hu-Dad took before he finally got this one.

We do have to tell a story on the Hu-Dad. He was running around with the camera trying to take pictures of us. At one point, he was running backwards trying to get a shot when he fell over Qannik.

Apparently, I “blend.”

Hu-Dad fell on his back and we took that as a new game of “Pile On the Hu-Dad.” Trust us, that is a really fun game. Hu-Dad did successfully keep the camera from getting crushed by a Siberian mob.

With that game over, Hu-Dad limped back to the house to process the photos and we returned to our favorite snow games.

Yes, I might have been using my nose as a snow plow. Why do you ask?
