I have the slowest PC and mine doesn't do that Ei...I tried to make that happen but all work fine. 

Donna, NOTHING is as slow as this work 'puter...it's a Dell optiplex vintage 1999...only reason it's still functioning is I know how to keep it clean.

Hey, that's the same computer I'm working on right now.  

Hopefully it's only a wet cable connector from the blowing snow.

   Yikes!  It is still snowing?     Time to follow the very smart Mariah 

Good looks and she's smart too!  That girl has it all.   

This sounds like fun Aafke and with Rochester expecting some potentially heavy snow over the next few days, it should be fun getting some pictures.  

Thanks for running this Winter Time Contest!  

It looks like is is snowing AGAIN in Rochester    No wonder Mariah disappears in the winter - no dummy there!  

Yeah, she's a lot smarter than her human watchers.  

Thanks Annette.  This problem has been reported.

We actually had our January thaw and a lot of snow melted.  It's supposed to get really cold and snowy in the coming weeks.  So you'll have to fly back to Rochester to get pictures of a snowy Rochester Paul.  

     
 

Hmmmm, something tells me that Paul doesn't have an open cockpit, especially during the Winter.   

Given the constant reports of snow falling in Rochester, I was surprised that there wasn't more of the stuff around when I briefly visited on Saturday.  It was just a thin, patchy cover on the ground.  In fact, there was no snow at all until a bit south of Elmira.

Good Grief!  More snow in Rochester   

It's snowing?  I didn't notice.   

They're like the Vlad the Impalers of the bird world.  Yikes!   

Paul - Your pictures are outstanding!  Thanks so much for sharing them with us.  Sorry you couldn't stop for a quick visit.   

Oh, and Carol? If you buy the beer, they provide the hors d'oeuvres

Oh yummy!  My favorite!   

There have been no confirmed sightings of Mariah since the time we positively ID'd her at the Irondequoit Mall/Medley Ctr.  We normally wouldn't see much of her at this time anyway, so I have no doubt she's fine, where ever she is.   

Beauty was out and about around the Times Square bldg. this afternoon.  It was a beautiful, sunny day.

THANK YOU!!!

Harumph!  Hey!  Some were just better at dodging the cameras.   

OMG!     That really long, big log that was laying across the river at the top of the Falls...it finally went DOWN the Falls?

Yep, the power of the mighty Genesee finally pushed it over the edge.   

The log is gone! I wonder how that happened.

the shrike did it

That shrikes me as very fishy!
