It's snowing here. More white stuff this weekend too. Fortunately, it's still ski and fatbike season.

It  wouldn't surprise me got another snowfall...right now, it's dry pavement but still with snow covered lawns at least 2 inches of now. I live in a drier air year-round, but colder part of  Canada where thankfully when it warms in winter for a day or so , it melts at least snow dry  on shovelled walks and then snowbanks take time to melt. So it's an ok compromise for longer winters where I am.

Those aren’t birdies, they are foul-tempered shit factories. Keep Jake away from them and watch where you step!

My brother, Asst. Manager of a State Roads Warehouse, says those Canadian Geese hang around the grounds of the warehouse throughout the Winter and their shit is especially slippery!

A lot of them Winter in Maryland and in the park where I took the pictures there is sometimes a flock skein of a couple hundred that suddenly passes overhead.  They literally block out the Sun and I always worry about getting dive bombed by them but have been spared so far.  We walked past about 20 in a few groups gaggles and saw a couple V-formation flying flocks plumps of about 12-15 each.  I think some of them have already headed back North for Spring.

I just looked it up and see I shouldn't call it a "flock." According to Wikipedia: "The collective noun for a group of geese on the ground is a gaggle; when in flight, they are called a skein, a team, or a wedge; when flying close together, they are called a plump.
