Thanks, wino, we can always count on you for helpful advice. Do I need to point out that retired doesn't automatically mean old? Still....winter in a warmer climate does sound nice.

It's dinner time for me. I am going to heat up some frozen pre-cooked sausage, and eat some leftover steamed vegetables and make a small salad.
It only dropped below 10C an hour or two ago, so enough rain might fall that the snow accumulation is cut down. The less snow the better.

I'm glad you're not being attacked by the "Snowquester" pero! When did they start giving winter storms names that sound like computer games?
It's a very nice 4C here with lots of sunshine. I've just been scrubbing and refilling the feeders. Our evening grosbeaks seem to have been replaced by a large flock of redpolls. It's fun to see who's going to show up next. We had quite a few redwing blackbirds yesterday, and I'm sure I heard a thrush this morning, but I couldn't see it.
I'm having an afternoon tea break with a bowl of no-fat Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey and some slivered almonds.

Mapes, Snowquester is coming. Perhaps after I go to sleep. It is named in "honor" of the Sequestration that the Republican Party has inflicted on the country, which started less than a week ago.
Redpolls. Sigh. What kind of thrush? Varied Thrush? Hermit Thrush?
I'll have some Greek frozen yogurt after dinner, maybe with a little maple syrup since I don't have honey or almonds.

Varied Thrush, I think pero. I've seen them here before. It has such a lovely song.

The song is lovely. I've only heard it on recordings, never for real. Of course the only ones I've seen so far have been out of range in the east. The male birds are absolutely gorgeous. I have seen two, one fairly close to home.

Weeeelllllll, the snowstorm was a bust for areas close to Washington. In my neighborhood, at most 1.5 inches (3-4 cm) fell, and it was wet, slushy snow. The temperatures at ground level just weren't cold enough to allow for proper snow accumulation or even proper snowfall. What snow there was melted during the rain this afternoon.
On the positive side, no shoveling was ever needed, and people had a day off (or home, teleworking). And the snowblower had a leak in the fuel line so we couldn't have used it even if we needed to. The winds are still high, but since there is little to no snow on the trees, falling limbs and trees shouldn't be a problem tonight. I'm celebrating with a beer right now.
How is everyone else doing?

Glad you didn't get whammed, pero. ENjoy that beer!
I got home to find the sun shining, and some melting has gone on in the week I was away - sidewalks are mostly clear. It's supposed to be quite nice this weekend and I sure hope that forecast is right!
But oh, I'm so tired... did some work in my room the last couple evenings and only slept about9.5 hours total in the last 2 nights put together, which isn't enough for me.
