Enough Already!

January 26-27 brought our fifth winter storm so far this season, and this one delivered the most snow (15 inches in two bouts, one with four inches during the day on January 26, and then a "snow burst" that dropped 11 inches between 8 p.m. on Wednesday and 1 a.m. on Thursday that included snowthunder and lightning).  Snow from the previous storms hadn't even melted!

There's a Junco just below the seed tray
It was beautiful, but I've had enough.  We're well over our annual average snowfall already, and we're still in January.  My back and arms ache today from all the shoveling I did yesterday - good thing it was aerobic exercise, since I certainly can't go for a walk.
