A question for people in western Massachusetts, especially folks who know about birds.

Is it possible that there are now ravens here? I've never seen them before on the East Coast, always in the Rockies or on the northwest coast.

Two photos at twilight tonight - around 8pm! - near the end of my evening walk. Cold and clear. #Berkshires #NorthAdams

ME: I am having such a good time in the #Berkshires. Visiting the mountains is so relaxing. Maybe I should change my ticket home so I can stay longer. 🤔

WEATHER APP: 🤡

Pretty clouds on my walk this evening, with temps in the 60s.

Since we're expecting more snow, I was a little worried about having to go to physical therapy this afternoon. The medical center is up a very very very steep set of hills. (A poor choice, in my opinion.) but I've already canceled appointments recently because of snow.

Fortunately, my PT called to say that he isn't feeling well and that I should feel free to cancel if I want - I did and rescheduled for next week when we don't actually expect snow. In fact, it will be in the 60s ☹️ (I am not a warm weather person).

I'm glad it worked out because the snow started two hours earlier than predicted.

The river continues to emerge from its icy mantle.
More snow tonight and tomorrow but online supposed to be an inch or so.

It was in the low 40s when we went on our walk today down at the river park. #SunshineSadie found a stick - the most important event of the day. The ice on the river is breaking up now that it's been above freezing the past few days.

Ugh - the outdoor air quality is not great here today - it has the aftertaste of NYC 😖. I've got air purifiers running in living room and bedroom.
