Strange Weather

Over the past couple of weeks we've experienced several changes in the local weather. We had our first plow-able snow fall, 4 to 5 inches. That was followed with a low temperature of 1.0 °F on Monday. Warmer temperatures moved in as we received almost an inch of rain on Wednesday, which melted the weekend snow. On Friday my weather station reported a high temperature of 61.3 °F. Today, no snow on the ground, no ice on the ponds and with the temperatures in the mid 40's, my daffodils were sprouting. It's still January and I can hardly wait for Punxsutawney Phil's weather forecast on Friday.

Winter Wildlife Drive

With another 1 to 2 inches of snow and the overnight temperatures in the single digits, the deer were out early today looking for food.
Found this flock of about 50 turkeys behind our barn.
