My all-white cat has been out in the blizzard, can't find him! [View all]

He went out yesterday afternoon, but never came back for dinner. Now he's out there somewhere in the blizzard. I went out in the snow looking for him, But being solid white, it's needle/haystacky. And it's supposed to hit 2 degrees tomorrow.
