Believe it or not there is a pond beneath that snow the opening is right over the heater we thought is was emptied before the current storm hit and dug our way to it to find out it was fine Quote | Post #27434 (7)

Dog still has to go out Sadie loves the snow but it is to play in not to poop, so she finds a place out of the way and jumps around until it is packed down and that is her toilet for the storm Quote | Post #27449 (10)

avmoran Feb 10, 2010 4:23 PM CST Name: Anita Moran Pylesville, MD Zone 6B

Now that the sun is going down the snow is picking up and the Jays have decided the hotel with food is better that the branch without by dark up to 10 birds pressed into the feeder Quote | Post #27465 (13)

avmoran Feb 10, 2010 4:24 PM CST Name: Anita Moran Pylesville, MD Zone 6B

The snow was too wet and heavy for this feeder the larger birds can not use it and the little ones could not move the snow Quote | Post #27469 (14)

Now this storm Thankfully Rob was able to fill the feeders and put a suet feeder in the holly for the birds. Snow started after dark so I could not get pics til this am. This is my back porch and the worse of the storm has yet to hit Quote | Post #27505 (17)

avmoran Feb 10, 2010 4:38 PM CST Name: Anita Moran Pylesville, MD Zone 6B

Since the snow is dryer and lighter the little birds can at least get to the food winds about 10 mph Quote | Post #27509 (18)

avmoran Feb 10, 2010 4:40 PM CST Name: Anita Moran Pylesville, MD Zone 6B

Tried to keep between the house and garage clear but finally had to settle for walk way since ran out of room to put the snow Quote | Post #27515 (19)
