Happy Birthday Mirta!  Hope you had a wonderful day!

 

Why thank you Yarak!  Good Job!!!   

Thanks for the heads up Kris.  Here are my late afternoon tweets.

[Carol] KP. RTH on tallest still. No falcon seen.
[Carol] BS. P here on east end lower roof with huge crop.
[Carol] DT. Looks like B on Mercury with back to me.
[Carol] DT. Looked for DC. could not find him. Have to go.

Janet - It's truly amazing how far down the cold reached.

Kris G - Glad to hear that you won't be affected by the flooding.

Lots of standing water on the roads today and watch out for those potholes!  I hit a few today. 

Oh, lucky us!   

Interesting Dale.  We got #8 and you got #6. 

Both Rochester and Chicago are on the top 10 coldest cities in the U.S. weather channel list - nice pictures

Happy Birthday Barb!  Hope you had a wonderful day!

 

Tomorrow the temps in Rochester are going to rise over 50 (F) degrees! With clouds, rain and wind, it should make for a very interesting day.  and yes, Monroe Cty is under a flood watch tomorrow.  Lots of snow and ice is going to melt making for some really big puddles.   

Very nice marcoon!   

Wow!  Some very interesting stories.  Thanks Dale, Bobbie, Pat and Ei!  

It's nice to know that Shaky is tracking the activity at this local Dairy Queen!   

You know when you've been through a polar vortex when 13 (F) degrees feels balmy.  

My bird feeder was half empty last night, so I filled it up to the top!

Downtown, I saw a pigeon land on a snow covered ledge.  It just kind of sat there for a few moments and then took off.

The weather people are saying that Rochester will get close to 50 degrees with rain on Saturday.  There goes all that snow!

Come on everyone!  We would love to hear from you.  

With the polar vortex hitting a big chunk of the US and Canada, it would be nice to hear how the cold (or warm, depending on where you live) temperatures are affecting you where you live.

Here in Rochester (NY), yesterday we woke up to -5 (F) and a windchill of -30 (F).  Today, when I woke up at 5:00 am it was 7 (F) and -10 (F).  I've been keeping my bird feeders full and putting out suet for my backyard birds.  Lots of hungry birds have been visiting and eating their fill.   

The Rochester Falcons are dealing with it in their own way, finding sheltering spots out of the cold, wind and snow.

So, if you'd like to share your winter weather stories and pics, we'd love to read them.  If you've never posted, don't be shy.

Take care everyone and keep warm!!!
Carol P.

Just read this very sad news. 

I feel so honored that I was able to have seen you fly.

Fly free beautiful Ranger.   

I will dearly miss you.   

It was a very nice group of falcon folks that rang in the New Year on the Rfalconcam chat!

If you can, please join us at noon on Broad St in front of the Blue Cross Arena for a toast to a successful 2014 falcon season!  Dress warm!  It's going to be mighty chilly out there!

Happy 2014!

Merry Christmas everyone! I visited with Beauty, Pigott and Dot.ca this morning. Pigott at BS had a full crop. Beauty was prepping her meal on KO and Dot.ca was watching and waiting patiently. All was peaceful in their world this Christmas day.
