Blizzard.

1-29-22 SHORT HILLS: We’re almost at the end of January. I decided that the problem with winter is that nothing happens in the gardens. In the summer each week, even each day, is different with new flowers opening and others finishing. 

There are plenty of weather changes in both seasons, but except for more snow or less snow the garden in winter is leafless and flowerless and frozen and unchanging. 

Today we are getting the bomb blizzard. We were on the back edge and got a few inches, and it seems over. The coastal areas got a lot, and I guess Boston and Maine are still getting it, but not Vermont. 

The feeders have been mobbed all day today. 

Maizie and Blanca comfortable in the snow. It's about 15° and windy. I guess we got about 6 inches of snow.

Judy is almost hidden on the left.

Bally also posing.

There are four cardinals waiting for a turn at the feeders when the grackles take off.

Mostly juncos and white-throated sparrows.
