Good morning. Wow, It's gorgeous outside! Everything has snow clinging to it and it's SO quiet. Must have snowed more last night because there's definitely more out there this morning. It's 28 going to 30 today so not a lot of melting.
Funny, yesterday at 9:30 a.m. I saw a mail truck come down our street, passed by our 2 houses and left. It was way too early for mail delivery. Maybe he was checking out the roads. It'll take people awhile to clear the snow from around mailboxes. He never came back so no mail delivery.
Nope. There were definitely lots of 5 pointed stars, but now there's too much snow. I'll see if I can get a picture.

Uh, count again.Has to be 6.

This is not a very good picture, but it's the best I could manage this morning. Too hard to see them on a light colored background. There's one in the center of the picture, but it's not as perfect as what we saw yesterday. Those were perfect, like you'd see on a flag, or the sprinkles for cupcakes.
Oh dang ... day #2 for walking behind the snow blower. Was out there a couple hours yesterday. Had more snow overnight. Just waiting for the last of the flurries to end then I'll be out there again this morning.
Yep the poor little birds are just puff balls.

Good COLD morning here in Mi.!
Average temps for some days: 25 daytime-- 0 to 20 night time! But basically very little snow...thank goodness!
Gotta remember to turn on the kitchen faucet before I go to bed... glad it's into Feb, and not Nov.!!!
Have as good a day as possible in these terrible times.

Hola ..
6:00 news yesterday showed an alarming snow radar for you folks up in the New England area .. I guess she was right .. thought about all y'all as I looked at the TV ..
This bright yellow disk appeared in the sky this AM .. it's been a stranger to these parts and, that, along with Covid Burnout, I'm sure has helped contribute to my general Winter melancholia

Morning, loungers. Just more rain here While the cats aren't happy, well, they'd not be happy going out into snow, either.
Uh, broken arms??
What's Wrong With This Snowflake?
How do snowflakes form? Get the science behind snow | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Or, as the first linked article says, abomination!

Well, in the Times We Live, I don't suppose mutated snowflakes should surprise anyone .. maybe, come Spring, I'll find a 6 leaf clover ..

I know what the science says, but I'm telling you there were flat, 5 pointed stars all over the place mixed among the flakes you'd expect to see. My daughter, who lives almost an hour away, told me to go out and check our flakes or I wouldn't have noticed. She also had clumps of crystals rather than the clumps of flakes that you'd expect to see. I'm sure that's happened before, we just never noticed. Wish I'd taken a picture at the time because they were all over our deck early on where I could see them up close. Once they're falling on flakes already on the ground you can't see them.

You're probably right about mutated snowflakes this year! But don't knock the 6 leaf clovers. I've found 5 and 6 leaf clovers on more than 1 occasion. I don't know if they're true clover, but they sure look like it. Just found some interesting clover facts in the below link. I can't vouch for seeing fairies and I've certainly found enough 4 leaf clovers! Hmmm, maybe I should have had some Irish whiskey after finding one!

Hi all, I just got back from the farm. Had a relaxing day. I had planned on setting a few traps and set up some new trail cams. After I finished collapsing and folding up the ground blind, I was having some not so nice back spasms. I gathered up the trail cams that were in the area and decided to go to the platform blind and try to call in some critters. I set the FoxPro about 50 yards from the platform and started calling. I spent about 2 1/2 hours and the only thing I managed to call in was a couple of eagles and a few crows. The eagles chased off the crows and continued to over-fly the area looking for the "distressed" animals. NO! I would not even think of shooting an eagle! I really need to take my camera and get some good pictures of the wildlife that comes through the area.
For those of you who don't know what the FoxPro is, it is an electronic device that has numerous "sounds" of various animals that are in distress or making mating calls. Think of the sounds cats make when they are in heat or small cats and dogs crying for their mothers. The one I have has about 75 different animal sounds and it will hold up to 200 different calls. There are actually more I can download from the FoxPro online library.
I'm rambling so I think I'll move to my recliner. Good night, all.

Ugh, was out from 930 til 1pm. Helping neighbors a bit. Same wet snow with sleet mixed in as last time. 24" here.
Wow ... we got maybe 8-10 inches overall in SE PA ... what part of the state are you located.
Good morning. We have gently falling show here. Not supposed to amount to much and it looks pretty. Going up to 33, but we're not supposed to see the sun so I guess not much melting will be going on. Mike was out with the snow blower doing our driveway yesterday, but it snowed enough that it'll have to be done again today. The township came thru with the plow and pushed a few feet of snow onto our sidewalks. UGH! How are we supposed to get rid of that in 48 hours? With 3 acres and sidewalks on 2 sides of the property that's a tall order. Maybe a flame thrower?
