Let it snow!

It's April 20th, and I live in the greater Seattle area. It's snowing, quite heavily, and starting to stick. I don't recall ever seeing snow this late in the year - of course our puppy wants out badly. She adores snow and hail - I had to pry her in earlier after it had slushed for a little bit; she wanted to stay out indefinitely snuffling around this wondrous wet mushy stuff, torn between sniffing and licking. She doesn't have her full adult coat by a long stretch yet, however; in particular her foot feathers are only partly grown in, so it's not good for her to stay too long in the slush/snow/ice. She's certainly not willing to admit it, though.
