Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are receiving cold air from the Arctic and moisture from the Pacific Ocean which when combined gives us snow! When warm air currents from California swoop up north to us, then the snow melts and turns to rain. We've had about 3 days of snow this week so far.
Schools in the area have been closed all week because of the freezing conditions. Christmas break starts today. We have one more snow storm expected on Saturday, then everything turns to rain next week. Bummer.
Snow is so magical in the way that it transforms the landscape.
We've been trying to keep up with feeding the birds and the squirrels. We found out that we now have two squirrels visiting our new squirrel feeder. They visit at least twice a day and empty the feeder. We've been feeding them raw peanuts in the shell. We spoil our birds with shelled raw sunflower seeds (less mess). By buying the nuts in the bulk foods section of the grocery store, we find it's more cost effective than "packaged" food.
