It has 'warmed up' from -34 to -20. A misplaced Nuthatch is nestling in my bird feeder trying to stow calories before nightfall when temps will drop. He is all fluffed up with a veil of frost on his feathers. Chickadees survive our winters but the Nuthatch is supposed to fly south. I do worry.
Sunrise today, 9:40A; sunset, 3:32P - a loss of 6 minutes of daylight from yesterday, so you can see we're on a downhill trend until December 21.
The startling blue sky, orange/golden treetops and crispy, crunchy snow makes it all worthwhile.
