Dead On

The weather forecast was dead on today.  It began snowing early this morning, around 2 or 3 a.m., and has been going strong ever since.  We are at 26ºF at 9:30 this morning with a wind chill of 13ºF.  The snow is supposedly falling at about one to two inches per hour…….I don’t know how much we have thus far, but they are predicting heavy snow all day and into the night with a final tally of about 10 to 12 inches for our region.

It is fairly windy outside right now and the snow is very fine and powdery.  It is snowing pretty heavily as I take these, but you wouldn’t know it to look at the images.  I don’t think there will be many snowmen around, not unless we began to get a wetter and heavier snow. 

Right now, it is snowing heavily and visibility is down……I wouldn’t call it white out, but it is awfully close.  I’m glad I’m in the house with my hot cup of coffee.  🙂

Tomorrow is suppose to be partly sunny but still very cold so the snow is going to stick around for at least a couple of days.  I hope to get out and about and get some more photos.  But for now………..I’m like this little guy ~ glad for some shelter from the snow…….

The quality is a little off…….I just took this through my storm door.  He suddenly showed up under my front porch awning, chirping quite loudly ~ almost as if he wanted to let me know he was there …. or to thank me for this shelter from the snow.  If you look , you can see a few snow flakes stuck to his head.  🙂
