The sunlight this morning highlighted the sparkles from the fluffy flakes from the last snowfall. But my squirrels have been messing up the shiny snowflakes as they stomp down trails from the trees to my bird feeders.

The chickadees seemed to enjoy the sunshine today as much as I did, but the chickadees always seem to have a cheery song no matter what the weather is. The only time they don’t sound happy is when I haven’t filled the bird feeder or I am taking too long to fill it.

After the snow stopped falling, the breeze picked up and blew the snow off the trees to make it look like the snow was falling from the skies again. Stronger winds caused blowing and drifting, including a drift across my driveway that I have to shovel again.

I don’t think this old tow truck will be pulling anyone out of the ditch during this snow storm as it appears its working days are over as I’m not even sure the red light on top works anymore plus the snow would blow right through the cab.
No Towing Anymore

A couple of light snowfalls in the last two days have coated the trees again with a white dusting of snow and it sounds like they will get additional layers of that white stuff in the coming days.

The deer have been playing in my yard, leaving a lot of trails through the snow so I can tell they came up to look in my basement door (probably trying to get out of the cold). And they weren’t too happy when I went outside one night to look at the moon and disturbed their sleeping. Maybe I should charge them a recreational and camping fee.

This old silo looks cold and other than providing some wind protection, the cement blocks probably didn’t warm up too much in the frigid sunshine today.

The sunshine today was a bit deceiving this afternoon as the temperature dropped instead rising. The cold winter temperatures, like the predicted below zero for tonight, prevent any flower blooming outside. Old seed pods or dry flowers are about that I can find if not buried under the snow. The cattail seed pods have managed to stay above the snow so far this year.

The trees and weeds look naked now that the snow finally blow or melted off of them. The filtered sun revealed the white landscape with the only bright color coming from the blue sky.

The start of the new year didn’t look very different than the end of the last year, even if we might have better sight in 2020, but I didn’t need sight to feel that winter is still here just like yesterday.
Start of 2020
