Snow drifted badly as had 40-50 mph winds in the afternoon and evening. Drifts blocked roads. Plows could not keep up with drifting. Visibility was almost nonexistent at times. Worse further south, where they get rain and ice.
Field is full of sculpted snow.
No spring for a while I guess. S. M. Saturday, March 8. Light reflected from the plowed dirt road surface caught my eye. On examining closely I found little feathers made out of ice, sometimes bundled like quills tied together. Most were set up on top of snow, at odd angles, not vertical, some even on their sides.
