For the last few hours in Gainesville,  light snow and pellets, 40 degrees and looking forward to this weekend. 

There you are.  Been wondering where you were.  This weekend might have legs.  Just maybe..

We are in an El Nino right? Get ready for a 2009-2010 reduction. How have you been?

Living the dream.  Probably somebody else’s dream not necessarily my own.  You gotta like our chances on this one.  Thermals look a little scary even though we are left of the fall line.  Not enough left for my comfort.  It should be called the fail line

It was a wintry scene on top of Gambrill. Light snow and a coating on trees/leaves. Elevation was 1600’. Driving back down it quickly turned back over to light rain. No sleet…it was entirely elevation-dependent.

OK, so we've had talk of squirrels, big dogs (NOT Dawgs, damn you Georgia!), ducks, albatrosses, whatever.   But how about a pileated woodpecker?  Saw this guy digging away at a tree nearby where I'm at...he just went about his business and didn't mind me standing there taking several photos.  You can see some of the wood chips he tossed aside.  I hear when a woodpecker is busy, it portends a snowstorm.  Well, not really, but it sounds good!

Great picture - we have one who frequents our front yard.  They are a beast.  The largest woodpecker in N. America.  They can also cause significant damage to homes - spoken from first-hand experience.  Ours loves the cedar siding on our house, unfortunately.  When he's doing his thing it's like a Ma Deuce sounding off.  There's also several smaller woodpeckers who frequent our yard and home.  It appears sometimes as though they follow the big guy around.  Even though they are a fraction of the size, the smaller peckers do more damage.  

FWIW - Have a great horned owl in our back woods too.  Saw him the other evening when he about took my hat off.  Haven't seen any geese lately, but the squirrels were out again today doing their thing.
