The Blizzard Begins

Update, 12:45, 2 feet/60cm of snow and climbing.The snow is now fluffier with rapidly falling temps.

We have almost 6 inches of wet heavy snow at 7:30 this morning. The wind is howling, the birds are trying to fly and feed. We're in for a real historic storm I think. It's beautiful and scary at the same time. T is out clearing space for the juncos and ground feeding birds to feed until the spot fills with snow again.

If our power stays on I'll update during the day. My friends in Scituate on the on the coast have already lost their power early this morning.

For the Record,
This day came in with howling winds and heavy wet snow. The temps will drop and the the snow should get fluffier, we hope.

All hands wary and in wonder of the power of Mother Nature.

When I look at your beautifully captured scene and then read the commentary I realise the hazard, danger and struggle that lies underneath all of it.

wow! it's beautiful and yes, scary. so tempting to paint but i found out recently it's difficult to do so, water and waves are a lot easier for me to paint than snowy trees. i will leave that to you. aces on the shot.

Goodness that is very scary....poor little birds too.

Gives us some idea of what you're going through - good on T helping out the birds.

It's a gorgeous capture (fav) but hoping your power stays on and you are all safe and warm.
