Default Re: weather
Woke up this morning and we had more 'weather' to blow away. Will this weather ever end?

The possum that lives under our deck has not come out for three days. Last time he was out for an amble around the yards was Groundhog Day. It snowed then as well, I feel like Bill Murray, I am waiting for Andie MacDowell to show up and then it will all have been worthwhile.

A day or so before the ground froze, the possum decided to dig up my lawn looking for food. By the time I saw it the lawn was covered in frozen lumps of sod. I let him eat the bird seed and the crusts thrown out for the birds but my lawn is a no no.

We are at the Northern end of the possums range and they suffer in the winter from frost bite, I had one in a window well once, half his tail was gone and his ears were just stumps. He ate the cat food I gave him before he left.
Possum arrived up here some 15 to 20 years ago, so they can survive here, this winter will be a big test for them though, I am sure many will not make it: my lawn will be glad.
