It hasn't exactly been summertime weather here in the northeastern United States for the past month, but it has seemed very much like a long late autumn. Cold weather and wet weather just have not converged to produce frozen precipitation.All that changed last evening with some snow that turned to ice near morning.
McAllister has been fortunate in that he has not had to pick his way through heavy drifts of snow with his aging joints, and this icy weather really hasn't been much of a challenge to him either. I did think it would be good to get some photos of him standing in the Winter Wonderland, even though the camera angle makes it look much more frosty than it really is.

In the second photo (right), that would indeed be Mac's mighty tongue, gathering up the first drafts of a mighty yawn. He has it so tough!
