Maria, Zinnia, the Snow Dog, and I went outside last night as the storm started, and I got to test the night light capabilities of the iPhone. It did pretty well with the help of some house lights. As for the storm, it didn’t quite live up to the predictions, just a few inches, but beautiful nevertheless.

This morning, Zip was waiting to meet with me on the back porch. He didn’t mind the snow and tried playing with it. It looks like four or five inches, far below the forecast. We’ll probably go out for breakfast, and today, the plan is to paint a chess board on the dining room table, as Maria and I have started playing chess again almost every night. She won two games last night; I won the last one.

Zip is faithfully on the porch for our morning meeting in the snow, and I don’t want to miss it either. He loves the snow.

Maria took this photo of our afternoon meeting. We have snow on the ground, and I’ll take the monochrome out as soon as I get dressed.
