The forecast was for snow, and it was accurate. Had snowed a few hours by the time dog and I first stepped out, and more yet when we headed for the wooded trailhead.
A snowshoe day for sure, and I didn’t expect much in the way of birds—but crows appeared in the high winds and blowing snow, and I heard the song of a titmouse. Then, after our hike, I spied a big waddling group of mallards crossing the road in Glen Cove.
The snowiest day yet, I do believe. But tomorrow’s supposed to have a little sun.
