We received 4 in. of snow early this week and it is still on the ground.  It was bitter cold then sunny and not too bad for a few days before turning super cold again.  The birds are really eating the bird seed now and the heated bird bath is a hot spot.  I have seen more deer this week.  We are in the dead of Winter and I love it!  People were sick with the flu a few weeks ago, but that seems to have trailed off quickly.
