OK, so the title of this photo needs some explanation. I live just south of Fort Worth, TX. We don't get much in the way of snow ... usually just an ice storm or two per winter. Last year (early 2007), we had one of those storms, and, as usual, the local media made a big deal out of it, calling it the "Arctic Blast", the "Winter Blast", etc. (you get the picture). They encouraged local viewers to send photos to them of the wintry area. Most that came in were photos of dogs with their noses in the camera lens with a little snow in the background. As a joke, I sent this photo to them with the comment that, "Scraps likes the winter blast". No explanation was given other than that (including no explanation as to where/when the photo was made). Anyway, they picked it up and ran with it. Whatever ...
