Frankie's Weather Report

During the Snowpocalypse of 2010, Frankie went outside to report on the weather.

The snow is five hippos deep and the temperature is two chills and a shiver. If you're going outside, bundle up!

The cars are hibernating. We'd better travel by foot.

Ludwig was hoping to visit the animals in the zoo, but nobody shoveled their sidewalk yet. We hope they have some good cartoons to watch and hot chocolate to warm up with.

The humans are sliding down a hill and struggling to climb back up. They probably wouldn't fall so fast if they didn't sit on those sheets of plastic.

Nature is very pretty when she puts her snow on.

It's unusually quiet and peaceful in the big city today. Maybe there will be more activity down this way.

The kids were starting up a snowball fight. Ludwig ducked behind a bush for a quick snapshot and then scurried off to safety.

The snowmen are growing fat this winter. They must be getting ready for a long, hot summer.

The Great Snow-pocalypse of 2010

I've heard the "staff" grumbling something about "H-E-double hockey sticks freezing over," but the rest of our little hippo bloat thinks the snow is pretty.



Aurora especially likes to play outside in the snow. She built her own little snow hippo friend.



Aurora also likes kitties and was very impressed by a snow kitty she saw on her walk.



Brrrr! Aurora got kind of cold and wet after a while, so she stopped for some coffee to warm up.



I wonder what all the other hippos were up to during the blizzard?!?!

Hipp-snow-potamus

Brrrr! Opie wished for snow for Christmas, but Santa seemed to have gotten a little carried away!



Horatio is trying to see how much snow fell.



Look at those snowdrifts!




My tiny friend Aurora said she was going outside to try her new hat, but I can't find her.



There she is! She can't wait to build a snow hippo and then warm her toes with some hot chocolate.



Happy snow day!
