They were showing some pics on local tv of the last storm and there
was one of a ruby throat sitting on an icy branch, I was surprised,
thought they always went south, seemed happy though.

Graham will miss our next storm coming tomorrow, said to be worse than
the Xmas Day one so they are warning people to better prepare
themselves this time for power outages. I haven't gone out to clear
the plastic from the tree, temperature has never come above -10C with
wind chill factor, maybe tomorrows storm will do the job.
