Yuge

Looks as if this storm is gonna to be. At four there were just a couple of inches of snow. Now the car is surrounded by a sort of reverse moat, perhaps it could be called an atoll, of snow that has sloughed off it. 

It's deeper than a Jack Russell Terrier. 

Just ask Mack. He tried to use it as a fire hydrant and nearly fell over. Talk about delusions of grandeur. 

The scanner feeds are full of accounts of trees down and power out. Not good.

Before I filled the feeders the little winter sparrows were digging through snow deeper than they are for spilled seeds from earlier days.

Now all the feeders and the ground are thronged with mixed blackbirds, Red-winged Blackbirds, Brown-headed Cowbirds and Common Grackles galore.

Last year's Rusty

I am going to keep plenty of seed out there today, in hopes of scoring a Rusty Blackbird. We saw one last year during Winter Storm Stella, and I am pretty sure I saw one yesterday and this morning.

 Incidentally, thank goodness Becky is off from work!

And hey, Mom, do you and Dad have everything you need? Love you.....

And now the lights are flickering....
