I don’t know what this is but at least it is evidence that someone has been enjoying the snow. We have a deficit of snow art. [ Click Link to Enlarge Full Image

Argo Dam Comments (3)
I am now sitting at my desk watching two bald eagles fly upstream, just passing over Argo Dam. First time for two at once and flying so low. Also seeing great blue herons just below the dam for the first time in 10 years in the wintertime, even below zero.

Children sledding on the hill, in the sunshine. So much for polar vortex.

NB State South of Stimson Comments (0)
Large Fed-Ex truck tries to stop. Does slow, clockwise 270° spin on State Street. Car ahead takes quick evasive action and avoids being swept into the Produce Station. Good move. Whew.

There must be a story behind this scooter that was left behind. Meanwhile the plow works around it clearing yet more snow. [ Click Link to Enlarge Full Image
Jackson Road & Parkland Plaza Comments (8)
Two deer dash across Parkland Plaza Drive from east to west. They are followed by a third, youngish looking deer who totally did not look both ways before crossing.

Display in the main lobby of the downtown library shows two finalists for public art at the new Blake Transit Center – Daniel Roache of Petoskey, Mich., and Robert Delgado of Los Angeles – and asks for public feedback. The proposals will be up through Feb. 3.
Fourth & Washington Comments (0)
A woman with two small children is using the kiosk at the Fourth & Washington parking structure to pay for parking. An automated male voice gives instructions. One of the kids gasps: “He talks!”

Pretty tree near Chase Bank adorned with over 12 fat-looking robins merrily eating the berries.

I guess things don’t always go better with Coke. Semi-truck jackknifed going around the corner from Spring onto Cherry and got stuck. [ Click Link to Enlarge Full Image

West Park at Chapin Comments (3)
Observed a number of people driving in to West Park to drop off Christmas trees, or more accurately – do an impressive toss to the top of the pile. Perfect weather for that! [ Click Link to Enlarge Full Image Click Link to Enlarge Full Image

Eastbound Jackson east of Wagner is broken up pavement most of the way along the seam between the road and the bicycle lane. [ Click Link to Enlarge Full Image
W. Washington & Third Comments (0)
Three runners, swiftly making their way up Third toward Huron, each gracefully leap over the huge pools of standing water where the sidewalk meets the road at Washington and Third. More of a long jump, really.

Couple makes it across mid-block crosswalk with cars stopping, only to come up against high snow mound.
Huron & First Comments (4)
Apparently the Ashley Terrace owner doesn’t think anyone will be walking down this stretch of sidewalk. Looks like it hasn’t been cleared since the major snowfall, and the northeast corner is almost impassable. [ Click Link to Enlarge Full Image

Seventh & Liberty Comments (0)
Finished clearing sidewalk on south side of Liberty from AAATA bus stop to intersection of Seventh & Liberty. Watched as x-country skier on sidewalk from the west approached intersection, observed cleared sidewalk, and opted for the road – which was mostly snow-covered, but was well-plowed, with some pavement showing in spots.

A group of snowmobilers just headed south down Main Street.
