mattie g Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 In the fall of 2009, cedar waxwings picked my holly tree clean over two days. In 2010, robins ate their fill over the course of 10 days or so. In 2011 and 2012, nothing bothered to feed on the holly. This year, nothing. Bad omen... I don't recall if the robins ever came around last fall, but they've certainly decided to have at it this year. The holly berries turned red pretty late, and the robins are taking full advantage now. They've been gorging on the hollies in my front and back yards - and flying into the kitchen picture window - for the past week or two. I think this means it's going to be a cold winter, but I'm not positive. Small sample size. I haven't seen a wooly worm, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Speaking of flying into windows, a goldfinch flew into the kitchen window 5-6 weeks ago. And died. Talk about a glass jaw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've picked up on Bob's cryptic speak. I like how we can make fun of each other and most of us don't get our feelings hurt. If we didn't poke fun I think it would be pretty boring...unless it snows but we all know the ensembles say it won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I experienced bay effect at my parents house in VA beach (city not the coast). They lived right on the lynhaven river in the 90's. It was partly sunny with cotton balls dropping big flakes for 5 minutes at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm pretty sure the NWS issued a Special Weather Statement sometime last season for "Bay-effect snow". I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Larry Cosgrove just followed me on Twitter. Although he seems to follow most people who follow him, so maybe that's less impressive. In other news, I went to Uno's for dinner and ate the bread casserole dish they specialize in and claim to call "pizza". Chicago bread casserole is to pizza what this guy is to an airplane.

My parents lived in Chicago for a while and they raved about the pizza. When I finally had some I didn't get the infatuation. It was fine, but I'll take a traditional slice any day.

nj2va Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I was drifting away and starting to pull for a torch, until I came across some pics from a mauler I experienced a few years ago. I need this in my life again, bad. If I get one up in the boondocks while DC torches I'll never even consider moving closer to the District again. Glad to have you back in the snow camp.

Bob Chill Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I guess I should do a final leaf raking before we get Euroburied with snow/rain or as I call it, snain Finished up yesterday. My leaf pile is the size of a vw bug and my yard is perfectly cut so the grass won't show with a 2" snowfall. That won't matter next week. A foot covers even the biggest slacker's yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
