What a difference a couple weeks make! Not long after I took the January photo we got pounded with a blizzard of epic proportions. Okay, maybe not epic, but it certainly was a lot of snow - 15+ inches in just over 24 hours.
They warned us, the weather people did, but I didn't believe them. Why should I? They kept changing their forecasts. One day they said 8-10 inches, the next 5-8, then back to 8-12. They were right, finally, but still off. When I measured it was almost 14 inches and we got several more inches after that. Since we didn't have to do anywhere, it was kind of fun to watch. But, please, I don't want that again!
The snow was followed by wickedly cold weather - a couple of days of below zero highs. Ah! Winter in Ohio!
The board on the patio is there for the birds. Tim shoveled out some snow there after the blizzard and put seed and suet there. They usually make short work of what he spreads out there
and often wait patiently in the trees for more.
I didn't realize while I was taking the photo above that I had a visitor. We hang suet on a shepherd's hook off to the right of the waterfalls. A Downy Woodpecker wasn't at all bothered by my presence.

We didn't get tons of snow here, but it was so cold. It got down to 15 degrees below zero earlier this week.
