Hey I notice that whatever that was in the upper right corner is gone. Did you 'erase' it or did Bill move it and take a new picture?

There is a foot of snow on the ground and the birds are having a hard time finding seed. I put a piece of carpet out and covered it with seed, but by the time I got back inside, the snow had already covered the seed back up! (I'll try to keep the cam running, but the snow is affecting my internet as well...)

Yes, stay safe. It sounds like you need a lean-to over that carpeting. A mental project for a different day's work.

Warning Description: High Wind Warning

Warning Date: 4:15 PM PST on December 19, 2008

WarningSum:...High Wind Warning Remains In Effect From 9 Am Saturday To 4 Pm
Pst Sunday...

Warning Message:A High Wind Warning remains in effect from 9 am Saturday to 4 PM
PST Sunday.
Strong winds will develop over the east Puget Sound lowlands on
Saturday morning and intensify on Saturday afternoon. This wind
event will peak on Saturday night and then subside on Sunday.
At the height of this event...sustained winds could reach 50 to
70 mph with peak gusts of 70 to 90 mph. The strongest winds are
expected to impact communities in eastern King County such as
North Bend...Maple Valley and Enumclaw. Communites in eastern
Snohomish County such as Sultan and Gold Bar could also experience
winds approaching this magnitude.

Further west along the I-405 and Highway 167 corridors...including
Woodinville...Bellevue...Renton and Auburn...winds of 25 to 35
mph with gusts of 50 to 55 mph are expected.
This event could rival a similar foothills wind storm from early
December 2003. During that event...numerous trees were blown
over...blocking residential streets and major highways
alike...including Highway 18 near Tiger Mountain. Power was
knocked out to many residences and businesses for as much as a
week. People need to prepare now for major disruption resulting
from this windstorm. Be sure to have enough supplies on hand to
last for several days should you be stranded at home. By late
Saturday morning...it may be too late to prepare.
In addition...wind chill readings during this event may be near
zero with air temperatures in the mid to upper 20s.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A High Wind Warning means that a severe high wind event is
imminent or occurring. Sustained winds of at least 50 mph...or
gusts of 75 mph or higher will occur across The Lowlands.
Residents and local officials in the warned area should be
prepared for widespread damage and power outages that could last
for more than a week.

The generator is fueled and ready...

Even the best nails have a hard time in hurricane force winds. I worry about the trees blowing over my self. Watch out for those "widow makers".
