UPDATE 2:30 pm Friday: It has been quite a challenge for the birds in this storm. There is thick snow on the branches of the trees and also finding food, unless it is provided by humans, is tough. We have a feeder and Dad and Mom also threw seed out onto the deck under the table and chairs so the birds could get to it. So our back deck area was quite popular this morning!
Looks like we have about 18 inches.
We interrupt our previously scheduled programming for a weather update. This picture is from 3 pm on Thursday. We will update later in the day as possible. Falling tree limbs cut off our power for about 5 hours yesterday evening - it was eerie to have no computer and no tv! Mom suggested to Dad that they play CARDS by candlelight. What is that?
