Ok, everybody seems to be getting a good dose of this cold weather. Here in Dixie it's downright COLD for us!!!! Supposed to be down around 20-21 degrees in the morning. Sleet and snow during the night. 1" to 3"...will probably will shut the area down for a day or so...no kiddin'. Temperature was dropping late this evening with a steady breeze (wind is supposed to pick up later). Just too cold for this southern boy, but it's strange the more of it we get the more we *kind* of get used to it......nah, I think my brain must be frozen to think that!!!
Anyhow, I pulled into the yard this evening to find these two snowbirds sitting on the roof of the house. Really odd to see these white birds squatting on the roof ridge in this kind of weather. I had to check some outside faucets to be sure they were dripping and the birds were basically just above one of them...the birds didn't budge, just kept an eye on me. I figure they were from New Jersey heading to St. Pete, but can't swear to it. Anyhow, I checked the other faucets and went back to check on the snowbirds...they had gone. I guess they'd figured out that wasn't the best place to be with the weather we're having tonight...smart birds.
