Snow!

First snow of 2010 (probably the only snow of 2010). Started around 7am and lasted until 4pm. I went in to work from 8-1. The zoo was closed, so we left as soon as the essentials were done. Some animals were kept inside, others went out only long enough for us to clean buildings. The North American animals were out the whole time, they are made for this! It was a beautiful winter wonderland. I wish I could have stayed until the snow had time to really accumulate, but I got some pictures from when it first started to stick.
