The blizzard of 2016 is turning out to be worse than predicted. We have about a foot of snow already and it is still falling down, while the wind is blowing it all over everything.
Many birds came to our bird feeder, restocked since yesterday with sunflower seeds. I tried opening our patio door a crack to take some photos, and the wind blew snow right into my lens hood! Finally I had to take the following photo of a cardinal through the glass door. Lighting was bad of course, but you get an idea of what is was like for the birds.
Cardinal in blizzard of 2016.

Thank you. The blizzard confined us at home, but that gave me a chance to take some pictures of the backyard.

That’s too bad you can’t see Cardinals in your part of the world. They are some of the most beautiful birds.

Thank you Sue! It was good to stay inside the house all day and all night for a change. There was a state of emergency and everybody was told to keep off the roads, except for the snow plows and other essential personnel.
