La Nina Makes an Appearance.

 2-11-21 SHORT HILLS: Since the big snow, we’ve had another 8 inches and then a light dusting and again last night another 2 inches. January was fairly mild and dry, but February is turning into the winter month from Hell—except it’s not warm. 

I checked the Climate Prediction Center at NOAA, and we’re in a La Nina, the strongest since 2010, and that condition usually makes the Northeast US snowy and cold. Expect more snow. 

The birds are draining the main feeder every day, and I can’t stop taking pictures. The dogs have made trails all over the yard. We would use them except they’re under bushes and shrubs. 

Judy and I have each had our second vaccinations. I start volunteering at the vaccination center next week. In three months it will be May.  

After the second storm, we have a big serving of snow on the table.

Customers come in all sizes and colors.

Everybody gets a turn, if they're a little aggressive.

The red catches one's eye.

Nice sunset through the trees. The sun now sets further north on the horizon.
