Watching more snowflake falling today had me wishing that it was a month earlier and it was leaves falling into the flowing water instead of those cold white flakes.

It looks like the trees are weary of this week snow fall too and are waiting for the sun to come out and melt some of this white decoration.

With the fresh snow covering the ground, it is amazing to see the number of tracks all over the yard from deer, squirrels, rabbits, mice, birds and these turkey tracks.

Last week there was no snow in the forecast, but that didn’t hold as the snow fell today. And with a cold week below freezing, it won’t be melting for a while.

With another day staying below freezing, the ground is cold but I don’t know if the fence board is any warmer for the cat’s feet or not.

The precipitation that fell yesterday was a light drizzle and mist, but since the temperature was below freezing, my car was coated with ice when I left work. Even this morning, there were small icicles hanging from my roof, but at least they weren’t big as these.

Major Richard Ira Bong is known as the “Ace of Aces” for his rank as the top American flying ace during World War II with a confirmed total of 40 enemy aircraft shot down with his initial aerial victory occurring on December 27, 1942.
While back home in Wisconsin on leave, Richard met his future wife, Marjorie Vattendahl, and when he returned to the Pacific, he changed the name of his P-38 plane to Marge and included a large photo of her as the plane’s nose art. A replica of his plane can be found in the Richard I. Bong Veterans Historical Center, located in Superior, Wisconsin.
In January 1945, Richard returned home and married Marge on February 10, 1945. Moving to California, Bong started a new career as a test pilot for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, and on August 6th, 1945, while testing the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, the fuel pump malfunctioned and Richard Bong was killed. His death was front page news, right under the lead story of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
