Done. Done, done, doneski. All the neighborhood snowblowers are shot. People are snapping at each other, and the shovel is nearly a "u". Expect to lose power shortly with winds kicking up w/ 50 mph gusts. But why are there songbirds (Robins, Jays, etc.) outside? Paged birder and mystery writer Bill Cameron yesterday. Apparently some migratory birds come back early to establish territory and get first dibs on holly berries and Spring grub, especially if the south is experiencing a mild winter. It's a gamble and sometimes, well, these greedy buggers get screwed. Sounds so familiar. Everybody is confused. Trying to finish this 6K piece involving shotgunned rock salt in close quarters and might have to use (gasp!) a piece of paper and this thing called an iPen. Keeping with the panic theme here's some WSP.
