SNOW IS EXPECTED

The weather forecast is for snow at 500 feet in the western hills.  At 1400 feet we are expecting snow by morning.  What will the ravens do?  Will they arrive at 7:30 AM as usual?

This morning the ravens were present and accounted for plus one!  The raven pair were perched in the redwood tree calling my name sweetly at 7:25 AM.  Then- a tremendous ruckous started up!  I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter and it wasn't Dasher or Dancer- it was a lone raven flying overhead. The raven pair flew off in a hurry to dissuade said intruder from hanging about in their valley.  They will return in good time for their morning snack.  Meanwhile the sky is turning dark as we await what nature will bring us in the next 24 hours.
