Cold Enough to Snow



Here in the deep South, we hardly ever get any snow. But conditions are just about right for it this weekend. Our temperatures are dropping, and the clouds are moving in, all thick and heavy-looking. Sometime tonight, the thermometer is supposed to hit 31 degrees, and if the moisture sticks around, we could even have sleet before dawn---or that's what the weatherman says, anyway.

So we'll see. Around Atlanta, the temps usually rise when the rain comes in. Just in case we do get a snowy day, I went out today to buy bird seed for our feathered friends. These pictures were made on our last snow day, a few years ago. We usually have lots of cardinals here, along with nuthatches, finches, and woodpeckers.


I'm keeping the bird bath filled with fresh water until this cold snap passes, so they'll have plenty of water for drinking and bathing, too.

Stay warm!
