Winter Storm Nathaniel, although not putting in much of an appearance here in my little backyard until very late into the night managed to leave about 4″ for me to shovel through to get out to where I feed the critters and scatter nuts and seeds. Still snowing although it’s a light snow. Unless it picks up, I don’t see another 2 – 3″ today. Maybe another inch. We’ll see how it goes. At any rate, we didn’t manage to dodge this particular storm even though it hasn’t been a truly bad one. Not here, anyway. Plenty of places to the NW gained double digit snowfalls. It still hasn’t complete departed anywhere from the map as yet and the storm is still traveling across the country heading to what will end up being it’s final exit along the East Coast. Before that happens, the NE  coastline will be hit with snow and unfortunately in some places, ice, which is the worst. So plenty of states feeling the passing of Nathaniel. Throw in more snow moving in along the West Coast, the tornado damage in Alabama, and it’s a fairly active weather scene across the country.
