Well thank goodness so far we have not had the massive ice storm that was predicted. We have ice but it is not too bad out there right now. We probably got about a 1/4 inch of ice and now it is snowing, the weatherman says it will snow all day. So far it has gone from big pretty snowflakes to light snow. We have taken photos of course and maybe tomorrow morning it will be even prettier than it is now. I hope the snow does not add to the weight on the power lines though and that we continue to be lucky with no outages.
My bird feeder is a little way from the house – I filled it up yesterday and it is empty already. I don’t want to walk over the feeder to fill it so I threw seed out around the yard from the safety of the porch 
birds feeding on the patio
more birds
my car covered in ice and now you can see the snow
pretty cardinal
looking from the porch to the workshop - admiring the pretty snow.
the squirrels are hungry too and eating the birdseed right next to the birds.
No quilting photos today. I finished a book this morning that I wanted to get done with and then sat at the quilting frame for awhile working on the Christmas Quilt. Now I have a long afternoon and evening to fill up so I will get busy on my applique and see if there is a movie on tv. Hopefully the roads will be sanded and cleared a little tomorrow and we might get out at least to exercise. I hope everyone else has been lucky with this storm system and have not lost power, right now they said there are only a limited few power losses.

Your yard is so pretty! Thanks for sharing your pictures! Hope you don’t lose power; there are outages all around us now, but we’re usually pretty lucky here!

I enjoyed seeing your ice/snow pictures and glad to hear that it doesn’t seem too bad for your area. I sure hope you don’t lose your power. It’s cloudy here, and we know it’s coming! Snow does make for some great pictures! Stay warm.
Oh Karen, that isn’t much snow by Canadian or North Dakota standards, but the birds are always hungry in the winter. We have some hardy robins that I feed raisins to when I see them. They love raisins!
I read somewhere that it’s good to feed them this food.
Your photos as usual are lovely. It is very very cold here by any standards.
Stay safe…hopefully the power will stay on…

Your pictures are interesting. We didn’t get the ice here. It started snowing about 8 PM yesterday and hasn’t stopped. We probably have 8 inches of snow and it continues to snow. I’ve stayed inside today and quilted and put soup in the crockpot. It smells good in here now.

Our ice stopped at about 11 this morning and has been snowing since! We have about 4 inches now and more during the night to come. I’ll post some real snow photos tomorrow
The snow is so pretty. I will posting a few pictures tomorrow. Glad you have not had any power outages. Wish I could feed the birds but that would drive my cats crazy.
