December 10, day trip. High 3, low minus 16
Admire my clever use of "coalition government" to prevent melt into the entrance and subsequent ice build up. Worked like a tee last winter ....
Rocket stays outdoors in the city when I'm not in town .... but I'm an early riser so he isn't out much more than 8 hours at a stretch, he has shelter under our front porch and he's well fed and dressed ?

I won't get up as often this winter with Leks a married man now, and a nurseries manager.
So I need to know what the take up of food ( niger seed, black sun flower oil seed, and beef suet) is ....

January 2. Low minus 6, high plus 5. Freezing rain on the way.
Brutal walk in ... we have, as of today, as much snow as was received all last winter. Two feet with drifts on the north side deck much higher.

We've had lots of snow here in Calgary as well. Went for a 1.5 hour walk with some buddies today in a brisk -22C,

January 13. High minus 10, low minus 26.
Pleasant walk in. About a meter of snow that absorbed 36 hours of warm rain so when the temperature dropped it turned to styrofoam. The trail is firm but to step off (out-house or feeders) very treacherous. Sink almost to the knee and absolutely no give in foot hole ... it would be an exhausting snow shoe ... off trail.
The snow captures every detail of the contours without any drifting so it's as if it had been iced with vanilla icing ... note California Mercury (cup cake). River from dock shows the amount of rain that fell.

Nice pictures Mike. On the other end of the scale, we are sweltering through a heat wave here.
