1-26-26 SHORT HILLS: The massive storm has past, and it wasn’t so bad. We did get 12.4 inches of snow. It was so cold, 10°, that the snow was very light, dry and fluffy. Very little accumulated on trees and shrubs, and so I don’t see any damage to trees or shrubs, but when it all melts, there may be problems that emerge. Now we have some sunshine. It’s windier now than during the storm, and it’s blowing the snow off the trees. We, thankfully, never lost power.
The birds have been draining the feeders. I filled them yesterday during the storm and may have to fill them again today. We had as many as four male cardinals at one time. Both hairy and downy woodpeckers were on the suet feeder.
For us, this was not a big deal storm that was forecast.
