There's not supposed to be snow in South Georgia!!!! But yet... (at least we don't have 7 feet like my Buffalo friends!)
The official countdown is on... 4 more days!!
Hope you all are staying warm!

vicki - it hasn't even snowed here yet!! you really have snow?? we have had the strangest weather here for a year, but no complaints.

have a terrific trip, and we will try for next time. maybe april/may?

WE got about 6 inches just north of Atlanta, and there's plenty on the ground still! Hope to get to AC soooooon!!!!!

hi to all you snowbunnies out there!!! i grew up in pa which means i was knee deep for 6 months out of the year. someone pleeeeeaaaaase make me a snow angel for old time sake. quite frankly i prefer sandfleas to snowbunnies now. the tx gulf coast suits me fine til i can call ac home. i could take about 5 minutes of snowflakes right now tho. it can be quite beautiful. 5 minutes it plenty according to my sister in erie, she just loaded up the motorhome for 6 wks in florida. what a life!!! remember - watch out where the eskimo go - don't you eat that yellow snow. (sorry, i was a kid when i lived up there).

gay, i probably shouldn't jinx it, but we have not had one flake in SE PA (i am 1.5 hrs n of phila). a friend in erie said they got 3 feet last week but we are many hours away from there.

skies here are clear as can be, and in november we were wearing only t-shirts. at least it finally got cold. weird.

i am looking at 'our' big red-tailed hawk outside my window sitting in a tree. just took a photo. yesterday, i saw him fly past close up with a squirrel in his talons. so cool.

jane, i guess the se is getting your snow. i don't think i could take it again. i was born in dubois & moved to warren shortly after. it is a beautiful place to visit. i left for tx 22 yrs ago. are you a birder? i spend my spare time birding. (pls do not confuse me with jane hathaway-oh god this may show my age). when you do get your snow i will see your hawk flying this way. stay warm for now.

Well, we haven't had any snow in a while, but it's been above freezing only a few hours the last week. On our way to work we saw that the Charles River was frozen over this morning, all the way to the Longfellow Bridge. Just some free water surface under the bridges.

We can't wait to get down there in Feb. A little more than a month to go.

gay, i can't really say i am a 'birder'. like most things i do, i am just a casual hobbiest. you know, master of none.

i greatly enjoy my birds here, tho. i have had feeders for maybe 10 years. at my old house, mostly for the fat, obnoxious 'city' squirrels. here, at this house, i am much more in the country, more forest around. the squirrels are just normal, and in great fear of those hawks! they don't come out much.

the hawks are my favorite, and we get many golden eagles as well, but the backyard is mostly jays, chickadees, doves, cardinals, etc. last week the birdbath/fountain froze solid, and would not thaw. we had to unplug it.

if you are an enthusiast, give me your email and i'll send you the hawk photo.

jane, snow & ice, ice & snow, it's starting to shiver my timbers. you can e me at gayyork@ev1.net. thx so much.
