This old barn isn’t providing as much protection against the snow as it had in the past and with more snow on the way, the roof may sag even more after the snow storms.

With a forecast predicting three different waves of snow during the next several days, I think this poor tree will remain highlighted in white instead of green leaves.

The heavy snow overnight had my pine trees branches weighted down again and I not sure they will ever return to their former upright positions even after the snow melts off as many times they been snowed on.

With the recent fluffier snow, it looks like the squirrel sank down into the snow with every hop and made an interesting track pattern in the snow.

Today was “critters on the road” day. Four tom turkeys were taking their sweet time crossing the road when I was heading for lunch. And when I was leaving work this evening, a deer was in the middle of the road and it didn’t want to leave the road, probably since it didn’t want to climb the ditch snow banks and stand in that cold white stuff.

The tree limbs were still coated with ice this morning, but by afternoon when the sun was out, some of the ice started to fall off and I got hit by falling ice when I was filling the bird feeders.

The freezing rain today created some rather slippery surfaces and coated a lot of thing outside like these red colored branches.

The sun peeked out for a while this afternoon and with temperatures just above freezing, some people may have ventured out to check out the winter scenes, like frozen waterfalls and snow covered sandstone gorges, but I was tired of slipping on the ice so I didn’t spend any extra time outside.

The unexpected rain in February polished the snow and ice to very slippery conditions, as even one of the farm cats was doing the dance jig as she slid down the hill about fifteen feet, but with four legs she manage to stay upright – barely. You expect to find ice on frozen lakes, but not on the driveway and walkways and it probably won’t melt before the snow next week hides it making even trickier to walk outside.
