Re: Richs storm

Ceres: Made it home this morning just fine...a bit slick but everyone
was driving sensibly, which helps! It has rained on and off here pretty
much the whole day, a dreary kind of cold drizzly stuff which is helping
to melt the snow. Made for wonderful snowmen when my kids got out of
school today...that really heavy, wet kind of snow, you know? Gee, my
memory doesn't recall snow every year in April...I wonder if that
weatherman is taking into account even those odd trace amounts that
disappear within a couple of hours? Good luck id'ing your bird...

Melody, hope you made it home safely. It is still snowing hard here. The
<br>conifers, especially the arborvitae, are hanging low as the snow is
so wet & <br>heavy. I viewed 2 birds in my garden this early morn I have
never seen <br>before. I first I thought they were extremely fat robins
but not. The <br>breast is a very dk burnt orange/red (darker than
robins) , very rounded <br>plump body with black feathers (I would
describe a robin as brown) except for <br>the breast area. Tail feathers
are shorter more narrow than a robin. Must <br>get my bird book out &
try to decide what it may be.<br> I heard the weather man state we have
had snow every year in April since <br>1959. I found that hard to
believe.<br>
