Whole Foods was chaos. Passersby had an odd edge. But despite the forecast for a huge blizzard, Papa didn't really believe it was coming. And no one really believed it would be this big. When Milo first looked out "his window" onto the street, he ran back to the couch and declared he was "Afraid of the snow."

Fortunately for us, he actually does have some of Mama's New England DNA, and ultimately had to be dragged with some heavy protestations from the land of snow angels, snow people and snow ball fights for chicken soup and nap.

Family minus Berkeley-born Papa who chose the window for best vantage point.

Milo tests out the neighbor's sled.

Last hug for snow guy before heading out of the cold.
