Actually clumps of snow, not birds, but also the name of folks my age who flee to warmer climates in the winter. Too much snow, too much ice, too much cold. I don’t like February.

What fun! (Looks like we both had similar ideas today 🙂 ).
I’d be the opposite to a snowbird – not enough snow, ice and frost!
Ice underfoot, shoveling and endless days below freezing with no hoar frost isn’t great fun.
When you put it like that, it doesn’t sound fun at all! It’s the nostalgia for ‘proper’ Winters which overtakes me – the ones we used to have when I was young (and when my children were young). We didn’t, usually, have Winters as harsh as the type you have described, however.
I’m just a grumpy old thing these days.
There’s an awful lot to be grumpy about, my friend. Meanwhile, I think I may be going slightly batty 🙂
Aren’t we all? 🦇
I like this shot and I like how despite the misery of cold, frost and snow you found such a positive image. Great stuff. We still have snow here. I went out in the dark this morning before sunrise to enjoy the hush that snow brings. Virtually no one around and a few early birds practicing their dawn chorus. It was a frosty morning and the stars were out and it was a nice way to capitalise on the positive bits about snow. Generally I’m not a fan but there are some aspects I like and now I can add your picture to the list 🙂
Thank you, Nigel. I do like the quiet the snow brings while falling. It’s the icy aftermath that I cannot stand.
