I just thought this looked pretty cool. All of the signs in town had terrific icicles.
The kids had a great time snapping icicles ("popcicles") off of the rose bush in the back yard and eating them. Strange.

And this is Sam. He spent most of his time under the steady drip from the gutter. (Notice the "2-6 inches" of snow in the background. Ggrrr.) He "took a shower" for quite a while, then decided he was thirsty.

And this is Sam after just a few more minutes under the "shower." I'm not sure what turned the experience from exhilerating to devastating, but the switch was quite apparent. The picture doesn't show it well--especially since he had cold drips from the gutter water still streaming down his face--but he had little tears flowing right along side! Sooooooo pitiful. Ha! You gotta love 'em!
