You have to understand Arkansas - while I live in town, I'm right at the foothills of the Ozark mountains and a lot of our school bus routes are on dirt roads in higher terrain. But we had no school today and you see the amount of snow on that tree! By 9:00 it was all rain and rained on and off all day with temperatures in the lower 30's. Didn't get out at all with Jerik so shot this from the kitchen window.
Good capture. Believe it or not, school has been called here in Maine for not much more. It happens when the weather people have us all geared up for a big storm and it doesn't really happen.
Nice capture of the woodpecker. It is the same in Tennessee. The roads can be quite tricky when it snow but sometimes they call a snow and the snow goes somewhere else. I love the Ozarks.as well as the Smokey Mts.
We sometimes have a 2 hour delay here and then everyone goes to school. Helps with the icy roads a bit - gives them time to thaw a little. Love your sweet woodpecker.
