Measured 10″ of snow out in my little backyard this morning and although Winter Storm Peggy has moved on, we’re now adding to the total with Lake Effect Snow. We could jolly well end up with a foot of snow by the time this ends. I know we were due, but it seems like the snow is endless lately. And there really doesn’t seem to be a stop point to it looking ahead. Snow and cold are going to be our constant companions for awhile. Getting tougher to dig my way out to the feeding station for the birds and critters. I’m doing it, but man…Lots of birds and squirrels out there this morning. 4 Cardinals among them. Beautiful against the snowy background. It is definitely Winter here.
