It all started at 6:00 AM. A light dusting that was supposed to melt away and become rain by 9-10:00 AM, maybe turn back into snow later in the day or evening, maybe 4-6 inches over that next night. Kelly and I took a few photos thinking they would show about all the snow we'd be likely see.







Kelly found a stray neighbor cat that was stranded due to the snow and built her a shelter for the storm. We call her Fluffernutter.





We fed her REALLY well and she stayed in there all night, She went home late the next day  but comes back most days now, but not overnight. Maybe her prolonged absence is making the owners rethink letting her roam so much.

The snow never stopped all day and by noon, there was a heavy, wet blanket over everything.





We changed the hummingbird fuel from Jet A to JP-7 (one part water and one part sugar) so they could get some fat reserves for the overnight.



They're all puffy with their winter plumage. I wonder where they go at night.

It just kept snowing.








There was more before dark and overnight after these were taken. There was 18 inches on the grill.



Grills and picnic tables don't lie.

The next morning was incredible.









But there was one casualty.
