And Still It Snows...
Out of school again today due to weather...no surprise there. The main roads are clear but every little hollow and hill in the mountains has its own private road and those are still, as I understand it, impassable. I know ours is still snow-covered.
After a relatively warm (it got up to 34) day yesterday, temps dropped to the teens last night and today it hasn't been out of the twenties. The result it that some places that had managed to melt yesterday are now frozen solid and everywhere the snow has a layer of crunchy ice on top. When I walked down to the barn today, I enjoyed the sensation of breaking through the crust with every step. Underneath, the snow is no longer snowball-making consistency, but has frozen into a fine powder that won't stick together at all.
The birds have been very active at the feeders today so I know it must be getting difficult for them to find anything else to eat out there. I've seen thirty or so at time at the feeders today with more stationed nearby in the trees.
