Blizzard of 2011

In the Chicago area, the Blizzard of 2011 has been an experience of a lifetime. The twenty inches of snow, high winds, blowing snow, thundersnow, and the drifting snow have created a panorama of beautiful pictures. Add to that, a gorgeous black and white striped bird with a red ring around its neck, eating at my birdfeeder, and I have had a most interesting time watching nature around my house. I hope you enjoy my pictures.

  1. Great pics! Mike and I had a great time last night; we turned our chairs towards the window and just watched the wind and snow. Awesome power of Mother Nature!

  3. Beautiful pictures, Jon Lee! And that is some big snow! I believe that the bird is either a Hairy Woodpecker or a Downy Woodpecker
