We've had some good snowfalls this winter. Back in December (2020) we had a nice half-inch on Christmas Eve giving us a rare White Christmas. The last two Sunday mornings have seen substantial snows (5 inches and 4 inches). Depending upon your attitude toward snow, it is either fortunate or unfortunate that the snow rarely sticks around for more than a day or two, so it's important to take advantage of the snow while it's there!

Winter Wildlife
 |
| One of five turkey vultures perched on fenceposts. Vultures may not be the prettiest birds, but they fulfill an essential ecological role. |
 |
Shortly after I got this picture, the vultures rose as a group and roosted in a nearby tree.
