I wrapped the jasmine pot like a mummy yesterday with an old fleece blanket. It snowed about an inch here last night, but some areas outside Seattle got up to 9 inches so many schools are closed.
A certain thoughtful person gave me a new snow shovel for Christmas so that's my exercise for the day. The gym is at the bottom of a steep hill, and definitely off-limits when the roads are icy.
It's going to be cold the next couple of days-- in the 30's during the day, and high 20's at night, but not as bad as the earlier dire predictions. Everything should be fine and plain old cold rain comes back by Thursday.
A Sharp-shinned hawk paid a call to the bird feeder this weekend. Not a great picture, but you can see him there on the left. He sat for a while and checked out the smorgasbord from the chopped off plum tree. Of course, the little birds saw him and headed for the hills. We usually see small hawks in the fall, but the Urban Raptor Conservatory webpage said they are fairly common winter residents in Seattle.
