The ground is covered in snow this evening... a far cry from the sunny skies of this morning when I could hear that woodpecker pounding out his mating call. Outside, snow is falling in an effort to remind me that winter is not over yet. Sheilah's Brush I guess... always it snows this time of year. But at 7 p.m. it is still daylight.... so I know that this won't last cause this much daylight at this time of the day can only mean one thing... spring is coming.... right!
I'll go spin a while... maybe when I look up next time, the snow will have stopped. (Yeah right.... dream on eh?)

The snow started here at somewhere around 4:00 pm and has been sifting down ever since. (Only about 1/2", but it looks like it wants to be at least a 12 hour system.) Barometer's 'way down and the wind is NE. The wierd part, though, is when the dog and I were out doing our "evening" walk, Mars was bright in the east and Venus was nearly as bright in the west (Jupiter was just visible - it's being outshone by Venus these nights, being so close together). Then, when I was looking northeast, checking the wind direction, there was the big dipper shining to the north, almost as bright as it would be in a clear sky. Sirius and the brighter stars in Orion were visible too, though not nearly so well. All the while, the snow kept falling. Mind-boggling.
