Quite cold, quite bright, and quite breezy first thing. Not many birds on the hill this morning, but I did hear the voice of a bluebird. Later we swung by the village, where I got some good looks at the winter resident loon.
Tonight comes a big winter storm. Tomorrow will brings snow and freezing rain. Should be an interesting day.
