Snow, snow, snow...

More snowstorms last week, but less accumulation. To make up for it we had frigid temps last Tuesday. Temps got to 30 below with the windchill. On my way to work the temperature gauge registered -16. It was a day to stay close to home and office.
More snow in the forecast for this coming Wednesday.
On a walk today we saw chipmunk tracks. Yesterday in the woods I saw fresh deer tracks.
This tree was striking with its white fungus. Looks like a leopard. The fungus may have killed it.

Arctic Freeze

Three storms in the last two weeks. Now a brief lull, but temps have dipped into the single digits as highs and tonight are supposed to get down to -17 here. More like a normal winter temps! we have the woodstove going and are warm inside.

Big storms Indiciate Climate Change

In different parts of the world the weather has been indicating our continuing changing climate: floods in Brazil and Australia, a couple of massive snowstorms in the Midwest and the Eastern U.S. Today was our own biggest storm of the season so far...over 18 inches of powder.
A time to stay inside and watch it blowing from inside. Temps were in the 20's so the snow here was quite dry, but wetter to the eastern part of the state.
