It snowed again yesterday. Actually, it started on Tuesday - and didn't stop until late yesterday. Then the wind started to blow... By the time it was done, we had almost two feet of new snow - on top of the almost two feet of snow we got on Saturday. Then it drifted. My front yard now has piles over six feet deep in snow. And tonight, they're calling for strong winds. Lovely.
According to our news guys, Philadelphia (an hour away from me) has more snow this winter - this week! - than Buffalo, N.Y. or Alaska. Most of the interstates in the state were closed, one of them just opening this afternoon. Some of the piles on the sides of the roads are fifteen feet high. We've set more records this week than in the past hundred years.
And yet, there are robins at the bird feeder.
To everyone fighting this white battle, be safe. Pace yourself. And good luck.

My back doesn't hurt but my triceps are a little sore. We measured it at 20 inches before the drifting. Lots of roads here are drifting closed over and over again.
Not all robins migrate! You might just have the diehards. Or they said, "Hey, why spend all that time flying, when we've got great dining at the Burkholders?!" :)
