A March 12 storm roils through

 The path this morning with a little snow maybe 1-2 ins after about 3 hours of snow.
 Slightly later in the afternoon maybe 4 in on the railing
In the evening about 6 in
Later in the evening the wind is still howling at 40-50 mph and the snow is still falling.  Currently it is 15° F I'm just glad it is March not January when it might have been cold as well as snowy.

Duck

 These Redheads and Lesser Scaup share the open water in this little pond.  There has been very open water anywhere with the Great Lakes mostly frozen over and the local Fingerlakes frozen oven.

Errata:  in the previous post I called them Canvasbacks, but they were more likely the Redheads like these.

March comes forth we hope

 The Canvasback and Canada Gooses gather around the open water on the golf course pond.
 Once again it is the annual Orchid Show at Sonnenberg Garden in Canandiagua NY.

Canvas Backs on the pond

These guys stopped by to use the pond with the Canada Geese that enjoy the golf course.  I'm not sure which way they are going north or south.

Just local winter in the frozen north

 Canandiagua Lake is frozen as far as I can see and probably completely frozen for the first time is years.
 Open water is hard to find for these Mallards
What snow???

Turkeys

 These guys were along the path on one of our very short walks.  It has been very cold and Grenville's feet get cold .
The whole herd of turkeys

Spring is here

I don't care what the ground hog said.  They're just rodents you know.  This Robin shows that spring is nie.
