6 Jan/17

Busy couple of weeks - father had a broken hip, back home now.

It's been cold and snowy the past couple of weeks. Two major snowfalls, and now -25 to -30. Winnipeg does not get much snow compared to some places in Canada, but what we get does not melt (usually). So it builds up. River is frozen now, I've walked on it a bit. Heard what sounded like waxwings today, but did not see them. They were likely across the street, in some sort of domestic fruit tree. Just the usual suspects around - chickadees, nuthatches, and house sparrows. The cold seems to drive them somewhere - not sure where they go.
