Snow-Daleks

The sheer amount of snow that transforms Boston each winter was a surprise to me even when I first moved here, but last night was a special event in itself. I've never seen anywhere transformed from relatively clear to sixteen inches deep in it this rapidly.

It wasn't good enough snow for snowmen, but I made us some defenders to stand along the front path.

Of course, they're only going to be able to keep intruders away if they don't retreat up any stairs, or move to an environment with a positive temperature. But who needs manoeuvrability when you have a sink plunger for an appendage?
