Yorkers have grown accustomed this winter to waking up and seeing a dull, rather dreary winter scene. No snow unless you live at Ski Roundtop.

But that changed Monday morning. Winter finally came, and made everything beautiful again. It was a snow day, thrilling most students. After collecting dust in the garage, my newest toy, a snowblower, cleaned off a few driveways and sidewalks. But not everyone was happy.

Our garbage man couldn't be blamed for grumbling as he slogged over snow mounds, dragged cans through snow. Maintenance workers had to plow or shovel.

Birds were searching hard for food, including this robin, which scarfed down berries from a holly bush. At this time of year, most food sources are gone, so be sure to keep your feeders full of seed. To see the types of seed you should be using, click here.
