Now that's some sticky snow out there. Got Da Chimps out early to play in the snow while Alane and Julio shoveled. Playing on my enduring disability, I did minimal shovel-work -- working instead on assembling a yeti.

The boys hid in their snowfort, which was just as well because when the yeti struggled to life it kicked up a fearsome amount of snow.

The snow has turned to drizzle. If there's a freeze tonight, the yeti will become the Tuckahoe Ice Man. (I suppose if I'd built it on 38th Street, the locals would call it a golem and enlist it in their ongoing seige of Castle 1526.)
