Some Snow Action Feb. 6

While outside our side door, heard a CRACK, saw electric wires that run through the tree bounce! A branch had broken. All the wires attach to the back corner of the house and were right over my head! Luckily, broken branch was not touching any of them.
View from front door.....
Next door, a branch broke on magnolia tree and fell across power lines above the street....
The Ickey Shuffle performed by the Juncos, accompanied by NASCAR Prerace Show. Bread crumbs had been placed on that area earlier. Normally this group and white-throated sparrows shuffle through dead leaves to find seeds and berries on the ground.
If you're not familiar with "The Ickey Shuffle", here's a link;
(there is a directional difference in the steps)

So lucky it didn't take out the electric, Loretta!!
I'll have to wait until the middle of the night to watch the video.
