It Is Getting Nasty Out

[gab13by13]

Here in central Pa. IT's the wind, and the temps are now starting to drop. It's basically a constant white out.

The only birds trying to feed are sparrows who are ground feeders. I tried to toss some bird seed on my deck but the wind and snow are quickly covering it up. There are 8 or 10 sparrows that are braving the weather and eating.

On the front of the house a squirrel was digging in the snow under a feeder, but the wind was whipping him and he didn't stay around long.

The 3 outdoor cats are snuggled up in the garage in their heated houses.

Pa. isn't getting it as bad as some other states, but it is really nasty out. The wind is the problem. Pine branches blew off into my neighbor's yard. He will not be happy, he is a fanatic about his yard.

Later on I will fire up my 30,000 BTU gas heater in the basement, it throws a lot of heat just with the pilot light on.

Stay safe DUers, stay warm.

A woodpecker showed up so I put out a new suet cake for him/her. Oh, a big pileated woodpecker showed up for the suet. Now the cardinals showed up.

3 Gray squirrels just took over the bird feeder.

Our indoor cat is having a blast sitting in front of the French doors to the deck watching everything.

1. In Ohio the temps already dropped.

It is cold, -8 with windchill -32.
Strong wind. Snow blowing around like Antarctica.
Yes get ready to fire up the gas heater.

2. In the North GA mountains, we don't have snow

but the wind is terrible and temps have really dropped. It is 10 now going to -2 later. This is NOT typical winter weather for us.

3. Can you make squirrels toasted peanut butter sandwiches?

The fat in it provides a lot of protection.

Ty for helping the wildlife. Mother Nature's othef kids. 😉

4. I am a non-racist squirrel feeder

I feed Gray, Red, Black, and one pure white albino. I have a bird feeder mounted on the railing of my deck and the squirrels will flip the roof off of it to eat. They do knock bird seed to the ground for the ground feeder birds.
