It was still falling at breakfast on the 4" that accumulated overnight. More worrisome were the wind gusts and the crack of sleet on the windows. Birds mobbed the feeders except when those gusts came through. Cardinals, finches, white throated sparrows, juncos, yellow rumped warblers, starlings, robins, and a red bellied woodpecker showed up for breakfast.
The snow quit before noon but it remained overcast and gusty. The snow itself had developed a crust that supported the birds and squirrels. Chickadees and two brown thrashers joined the other birds at lunch.K said it began to snow again but I missed it. Toward evening, a heron and a duck flew over. And then it was dark.
