The wind is still blowing hard this morning but the forecast says it will start calming late this afternoon so then the waves can start to become more gentle again.

The wind gusting to 50 mph was blowing the light coating of snow all around. It would have been interesting to see what the waves looked like today on Lake Superior from the wind but it would have been a very chilly adventure.

It may be up to 50 today, but with the misty, cloudy day, it doesn’t feel too warm out. And there are no blooming flowers yet to see to add any bright spots on the landscape.

With a very cloudy start to the day, I don’t know if there will be a chance for the sun to peek out at all and probably not by sunset with rain moving in overnight.

I think there needs to be some crossing gates, like for a railroad, on the side road for a critter crossing. Instead of a deer crossing the road coming home from church this evening, there were close to three dozen turkeys strung across the road in the same spot and it took a while for them all to get across.

The poor squirrel tail looks a bit wet, just like my shoes, from venturing across the snow to the next small patch of open grass (and to my bird feeder).

The weather hasn’t made up its mind if it is winter or spring. The new layer of snow this morning and the cold wind made it feel more like winter again but this weekend is supposedly will be warmer again to work at melting the snow again.

It was hard to decide if March came in like a lion or a lamb since there wasn’t sub-zero freezing temperatures, but the wind was blowing the new snow causing drifts across the road. But since weather could have been worse, I guess it was more of a lamb than a lion.

They say “April showers bring May flowers” but February showers may bring ice, if some rain moves in later tonight with temperatures below freezing.

After the new snow, I saw a lot of deer tracks across my lawn and the last several nights, I have heard them walking through the woods after the dark. But it is hard to take a picture of them in dark in addition to it being cold outside to try to wait for them to come into view, so it is easier to capture them in the summer time.
