This 'n that

The moon on Wednesday evening:




One of the many flocks of gees flying further North yesterday:



I love watching and hearing them - the cycle of life..just like the changing seasons.





Had a nice ( /S) weather update:


...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM FRIDAY TO 4 AM EST SATURDAY...* WHAT...Heavy wet snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 5 to10 inches at higher elevations above 1000 feet and 2 to 4inches in the valleys are expected.* WHERE...In New Jersey, Sussex county. In Pennsylvania, Carbon and Monroe counties.* WHEN...Rain will transition to snow initially along the high-elevation ridges in the southern Poconos and far northwestern New Jersey between 4 and 8 AM Friday morning and then closer to midday in the valleys. The snow will be heavy at times during the day on Friday with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour possible. The snow is expected to decrease in intensity later in the evening before eventually ending from west to east overnight.* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on very difficult travel conditions,including during both the morning and evening commutes on Friday. The combination of strong northwest winds gusting to 50mph and heavy snow could create near-blizzard conditions with visibilities below one-half mile at times. The heavy, wet nature of the snow and strong winds will likely cause damage to trees and power lines that will lead to power outages.A Winter Storm Warning for snow means severe winter weather conditions will make travel very hazardous or impossible. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.

Soooo... I cleaned the coop and put plenty of clean shaving down to keep the little darlins' nice and warm:




And more robins showed up late in the afternoon. I think their timing is a wee bit off!


If any of you are in the path of the storm, keep safe!

:o)

  3. We've had rain and wind and more of the same. The rain was so needed that no one is complaining. Lots of much needed snow in the Sierras as well.
    Sorry to hear it was miserable at your place and surrounds.
