Snowed In Again!

Another snowstorm is dumping snow on us today, closing all the schools. I read in the newspaper yesterday we had already had more snow here this winter than Minneapolis or Anchorage, Alaska. And, that was before this storm!


This is what our driveway looked like on Monday so this snow is on top of that--I am not even going to venture out for awhile.


Most people buy milk and bread before a snow storm, not me though. I bought 50 lbs. of sunflower seeds and a case of suet cakes. The seed attracts a lot of birds as seen in the photo above. There's not much else out there for them to eat.



These birds are waiting their turn at the feeder--can you tell how many different kinds there are?



Another photo of a white-throated sparrow...



and a snowy cardinal...

Now, the snow's really sticking to the trees--hope the power does not go out!

  1. How thoughtful to buy food for the birds! I can't imagine living where it snows that much. California weather is sooo mellow.

  2. Snow and ice for us as well. I have to refill the birdfeeders at least once a day and like you, I bought more birdseed along with the milk and toilet paper.

  4. @Green Gal--California sounds warm. The snow is getting to be a bit too much.

    @NCmountainwoman--We've gone thru half of that 50 lb. bag already. But the birds really don't have much else to eat.

    @Kerri--not sure how much we got. On top of what we had, it looks like about 14 inches. Sun's out today so I hope it melts some!
