No Sun up here in Puget Sound! Of course it’s dark now.

All ok, cold but ok
so that was the longest we have been without power here 13 hours. It was fine but I feel bad for folks with no wood stove.
The heave snow caused trees and limbs to go down, there were downed power lines in Jefferson County. So a lot of folks without power, in all of Western Wa.
I did get a few pics with the camera yesterday around 7:30am, it snowed all day. I did NOT go outside, except to swap out the humming bird feeder, it kept freezing. I put a coat hanger up by the feeder for him, he sat on it all day guarding the feeder. I had to put a second feeder out cuz he wouldn't let the female have any.
It is currently 14 out on the porch,, the wind is suppose to pick up. the road is a sheet of ice, all of the neighbors are walking from the bottom of the hill up to their home. DH said he was glad he left the car at the bottom. The road out to 101 is a sheet of ice also.
And it will be like this for the next week or more.
these are yesterday around 7:30am
I dont know how he survives,, he have been here all year, every year (maybe not the same one) for 9 years. this is the first year a female stayed.

I hope you all are warm, DS said it was call to call all day yesterday and all the roads were ice.No Sun up here in Puget Sound! Of course it’s dark now.
We didn't get anything like what you have. We got about 3" of heavy wet snow that is packing down to ice on the roads. It'll mostly melt by the end of the day.
My 3 pullets got to experience their first real snow in the run. I swear they clucked, "What is this stuff?!" I may need to put up some more tarp/shower curtain around more of the run; the snow came in from the east. That direction is in the lee of the garage, but not entirely protected.
I'm so glad your power came back on! Ours can be off for days when it gets really bad out.

Who is eating out of the hummingbird feeder?
The snow is beautiful.
I know it can be dangerous.
Porchers good morning one and all!
The temperature is 70 and partly sunny.
Have a great day!
