"The perfect snow day - Or, I couldn't get to work because two garbage trucks that were chained up, were stuck in my alley"

How a "perfect snow day" starts...

(L to R) Morgain, Lisa and Houston (friends within walking distance) enjoy Lisa's infamous "scones of doom" with Devon cream and coffee before hitting the hills, aforementioned "scones of doom" fresh from the oven, Houston is one of three people that can pick BadKitty up without getting shredded (she so loves getting "good ear"), Garbage truck (that was chained up) stuck in Lisa's alley (there is another one that you can't see in front of this one, driving to work was not an option), Yak Trax, the best way to avoid falling on your backside on the ice.  REI sells them, go get some.  Lisa, Houston and Morgain with their snow play toys (YES, we're riding snow shovels) Houston found the SLO (sled like object) in the park.

(L to R) Morgain and Lisa set up for the "big race", flying down the hill, Morgain needs to make a call to fib about the outcome of the race, Gloria flies down the hill on her first ever snowshoe run, Houston does the big wipeout, Michael on his first snowshoe run (he went further than anyone, the man is a snow shovel riding animal)

(L to R) Houston flies downhill headfirst, Gloria wipes out, Morgain's trip didn't end much better, Houston misses the ramp and "big air", Lisa wipes out, did I mention that Yak Trax rock?

(L to R) Morgain and Lisa have a nasty wipeout after an intense race, Houston acts like a "total guy" and attempts a new technique, So how did that work out for you Houston?, Seagulls standing on the frozen water, Michael celebrates being the champion shovel race his first time out, Gloria flies down the hill
