It can be hard to find much green color around here in the winter, as even the pine trees seem dull, but once in a while instead of a red barn there is a green one on the farm landscape.

On Saturday, 34 fisherman were stranded on a piece of ice that cracked and separated away from the rest ice near shore. They had to be rescued from the floating ice as it floating farther out into Lake Michigan. I wouldn’t be fishing on the ice since the ice changes frequently on big bodies of water as this image from Lake Superior was a solid sheet one minute, fractured a while later and after a few more hours, the ice floated out of view.

It was sunny winter day but looks were a bit deceiving with the below zero temperatures. And the snow squeaked when I walked on it going to the bird feeders, but at least I wasn’t out shoveling snow today.

There was a flock of turkeys crossing the road and going down my driveway when I was trying to pull in so I had to wait for them. The group split up and some ending up wading through drifts into the trees while others stayed on the driveway longer before trudging a path through the snow.

It was a rather chilly start of the day with overnight temperatures dropping down to -22 degrees. And although the sun was out, the day just barely reached zero for an afternoon hike in the snow.

The New Year started out with some sunshine, but it was a cold day as the temperature never climbed above zero and the wind made it feel like -25. And tonight will be even colder.

A new coat of snow fell today, which covered the icy spots, so now it is very tricky when trying to walk outside.

Last Christmas had a wintery look, but this year with the recent rains that melted much of the snow and exposed some grassy spots so it was more of a brown Christmas instead of a white one.

It doesn’t take long after a snow fall for the critters to stomp down the snow and create their own highways on my lawn, especially heading towards the bird feeders.

Even though there was snow early in the month, today is the official start of winter. But after shoveling the new snow today, I was thinking that it would be nice if it was the end of winter instead.
