27th November 2021 No sooner did I publish yesterday's post, than this little chap showed up. Not for nothing he's known as the snowbird. Saucy little fellow.

0706/16th April 2021 Snow had seemed a possibility, but I was mildly surprised to see that it had materialized. Fortunately, this time it was barely more than a dusting so not a problem for the early buds, I think.

1020/10th February 2021 There's a saying here, in Seattle too and no doubt any number of places around the world: "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."

This could turn into a never-ending photographic event. Day three and the forecast has changed: The "oracle" on my cellphone has moved Monday's expected warmer temperatures with rain, to freezing temperatures and, - snow. Ah. Rain is moved to Thursday, so it says. That could make for less attractive images, but they could prove interesting, … Continue reading Ongoing event
According to the infallible weather media, we are to get a serious "strom", somewhere over the next day or two. The sky does look a bit "stromy" and it was decidedly cold this morning.
