Last Friday we started out with rain and warm temps. The temp started to drop but the rain continued and started to freeze. Then after everything had a coat of ice, it turned to ice pellets, then snow. These pictures were taken throughout the afternoon. By the time it quit snowing we had about two inches on the ground.
We even got ice cycles on the awning. You could watch them form while it was raining and the temp was freezing.
We had talked about getting a bird feeder and some seed, so I did that the day before we got the now. We have seen cardinals, tufted titmouse, chickadees, finches, and some that I haven't ID'd yet. They are fun to watch.
Today we had some other visitors. They stay in the woods just beyond the fence. They usually don't come out into this area. I had to take this through our plastic covered window so it isn't as clear.
The temp came up some on Sunday so roads cleared and things weren't as slick. Most of our ice cycles came down. Now, tonight, we are to get more snow and maybe some freezing rain. Sure glad we don't have to drive the roads. Last Friday it took our son half an hour to go two and a half miles.
Enjoy the winter!!!
