Snowing heavily at the moment, several inches already, but I can't tell how much! When I opened the blinds to see out, at least 6 mourning doves, and a few small birds flew out - they had been sheltering from the storm close to the building, in under the porch above us as far as they could get!

Honest to goodness, the forecast says "Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Temperature falling to around 15 by 5pm. Wind chill values as low as -1. North wind 13 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph."

The funny thing is it is already colder than the predicted low. It is now 11° (-10 C) and a wind chill of 0°.
