Arctic Blast 2008. Well that's what the TV stations are calling it. Not all that impressive so far. But just wait till the weekend they say. We're supposed to get 6-10 inches of the white stuff with a layer of freezing rain on top of it...all starting Sunday morning. The temps have hovered around 25 F. (-4 c.) during the daytime and 18 F. (-8 C.) at night. This poor hummingbird in the bottom picture is getting the last of the nectar out of the feeder. I bring it in the house to thaw it out but it's frozen again within an hour of hanging it outside. And no...the birds are not invited inside. The cats wanted to extend an invitation...but I think their motives were for a different kind of feeding. Know what I mean, Vern? ;-))
