Some LES in GC overnight?

27/18, wind has really picked up here over the last hour or so. There are also a few lonely flakes flying. Happy to report the snowpack has survived here, 100% coverage here in the glen, only the windswept meadows have bare spots. Looking at the radar I wouldn't be surprised to wake up to a dusting of LES .

One thing that I always did when I asked a question or asked for a link was to thank the poster for the answer or link, many times I post links or answers and never hear squat from the questionnaire, bad JUJU. Ice Warrior being one of those.

Your answers tend to get me searching the web for even more info... so if I ever don't respond, please don't hesitate to whack me upside the head...I get lost in it sometimes.

The things you dig up are the best.

Finally near freezing here... 32.7F

Radar showing stuff but not hitting the ground here. 10PM is coming

The thing about Madmen is the time and place. Workplace norms vs now are astounding yet I remember well those days and the behavior was exactly normal. Also, the transition from the 50s to the 60s to the sexual revolution and feminism and a sea change in attitudes about most things. Growing up as one of those kids (or maybe 10-12 years younger than the junior people on the show. Crazy but very much fun times.

Not all robins migrate. KBosch and Will can fill you in on more. They are here year round, but I think 1 variety leaves...

I saw bugs flying around today. I hate bugs.

35.4F on my thermo

The American Robin is a permanent resident in basically all of the lower 48 states and even some parts of Canada. Many migrate down from the far reaches of Canada and filter through NE in the fall and spring. Many also leave here, but a small number remain. Another part of the perception that they leave totally is that in the spring, summer, and some of the fall they will be spread out in their own territories and feeding areas. In the fall and winter they will form flocks which makes it easier to find food, water, and avoid predation, so you will encounter them much less frequently because of this/the reduced numbers. You'll see bugs hatch like that once the temperature is above freezing year-round. And if you're near open water it makes it all the more likely of course. The same goes for finding birds.

I had a massive flock of birds on the snow free part of the back lawn here pecking for some food in the grass. I have no idea what they were - not robins..brownish.

Down to 28 here now.

Hmm, Red-winged Blackbirds? Brown-headed Cowbirds? European Starling? Common Grackle? A few decent guesses considering it a was big flock grass in a yard.
