And the winner is.........

MOTHER NATURE!!!!! Or maybe the winner was the weatherman, because he was right for once. Here is the snow coming down in little puff balls last night.
By 7 a.m this morning.
This is the forsythia bush outside my kitchen window. I wanted to get a picture before this guy.......
knocked all the snow off getting to the bird's food.

The scene out my dining room window is beautiful. You can see this was a piling snow and under it all is the layer of sleet we got first. It is definitely still winter in northern Illinois.
