Bird Outing Saturday, 10 Jan?

View out the window

Snow everywhere. And, as usual, with our severe snow storm (between 1 and 2 inches total), the city is shut down. I don't mind a bit. I don't drive on slick roads.

The picture is the view out my front window this morning. Since the temperatures didn't drop below 32 last night, the streets look clear. We did get more snow overnight, so there is some nice wet snow everywhere else.

As for our monthly bird outing at Lake Arrowhead State Park tomorrow, we'll have to wait and see, but I expect it will be a go. If it is just cold (prediction is 26 degrees in the AM), I will be there. The issue is the ice. With today's high in the low 40's, all of the snow should be melted off, and we'll have clear roads tomorrow. But, if I get up and there is any ice on the road, I will not be venturing out. So, look out your window at 7 AM (about the time I would leave the house). If the roads look clear to you, come on out. If in doubt, stay home if you want to bird with a group.

Good birding!
