First snow storm of this winter hit the northeastern side of the country very hard yesterday. Severe weather warnings did not stop many people from driving and ultimately accidents occurred on icy roads. We got home safely thanks to my car's traction and stability control system on snow tires (and awesome driving ability, of course).

For a few animals at the zoo, it was time for fun and games. My brother and I watched these massive cats playing in the snow storm as if nothing was happening.

I also had an opportunity to test my weather-proof DSLR system. The camera body and lens were literally wet from melted snow and ice, but they performed well together without missing a shot. Hope you like this winter series.
