Mother Nature has been a bit conflicted about our Southeast Michigan Winter. Did she want this season to merely meander along or should she pull out all the stops? Maybe the old gal waited until Pugsatawney Phil and Woody the Woodchuck (Michigan’s prognosticating rodent) weighed in. After a few piddling snowstorms and several bouts of freezing rain, (all which mostly melted within a few days’ time), plus a handful of days with frigid temps, we finally got a Winter wallop. Ouch!
Yes, Mother Nature stomped her foot bigtime.
Thursday night brought 4.2 inches (10.6 cm) of snow paired with brutal temps. I shoveled that heavy snow Friday morning. Then, I was faced with a dilemma Saturday morning when I heard a news interview in the 6:00 a.m. hour wherein an E.R. doc cautioned “don’t stay outside more than 10 minutes in this weather” … hmm. I pondered those words of advice while wrapping my hands around my mug of coffee to take away the chill I felt in the house. Yes, the house, with the furnace blasting and me tucked inside, away from the brutal elements.
I hopped online to verify what the National Weather Service said about that dire forecast, especially the bone-chilling temps for the Detroit Metro area – ugh.
So, do I dare take myself to the Park, a 20-minute trek each way, as well as running clear across the Park to distribute treats? I’d be outside for a good hour to get my steps in, but more importantly, my mission of feeding the critters done.
I looked out the front door after sunrise and the streets had not been salted or plowed. But, filled with bravado, I packed up the peanuts and a large Ziploc bag of black oiler sunflower seeds anyway, donned an extra layer of everything and headed out into the temps around 7F (-13C) with a real feel of -2F (-18C) and a gusty wind of 25 mph (40 kmh). I ran the car and scoped out the street – not good at ground level either. The mail carrier came along and we chatted it up a bit. He’s usually delivering the mail as I’m returning home from my daily walk and he knows where I go every morning. I said “what are the roads like – should I venture to the Park – it’s going to snow a coupla more inches tonight – what do you think?” “Don’t do it!” he cried. Then went on to say “it is dangerously cold out here; I’m in extra layers and it’s brutal – they’ll be okay.” Well that clinched it. Sunday morning wasn’t one bit better – still the Arctic chill and snow to boot.
Until the Arctic Blast subsides, I hope everyone stayed tucked in their nests and I likewise will remain in mine.
This trek was taken just before the bottom fell out.
February 4th was gorgeous, albeit cold, for a February day in Michigan. I toyed with the idea of going to Bishop Park to see if there were ice slabs or frozen-in-midair-waves, always an awesome sight to see, plus it would give the car a run before we settled into this impending snow and Arctic Blast. But, in the end, I simply drove to the Park, catered to my Park pals with some walnut pieces and extra peanuts and got some shots of them and the snow-covered ice at the Ecorse Creek.
As I indulged my little buddies, I warned them I would likely be MIA due to the snow that was arriving that afternoon and the impending Deep Freeze. I cautioned them to “eat hardy and take some back to your nests” which words likely fell on deaf ears since I’d made this suggestion several times before and the weathermen were wrong each time and I returned red-faced the next day.
Though the landscape was a bit bleak and desolate looking …
… I looked to find some beauty and got several shots of the ice as I walked the shoreline of the Ecorse Creek. I don’t often take photos of this side of the Park. The Creek is narrow here and you can see the backyards of those homes which are located in a different city – Wyandotte.
In the distance I saw Jacob, the fisherman I mentioned in a recent post. (Click here if you missed it.)
Although the weather was cold, we had one day the previous week which was warmer and some of the Creek had thawed. I was surprised to see he was out on the ice – in fact, this was the first time I’ve seen someone ice fishing, let alone evidence that people had been walking on the surface.
I would have waved but Jacob was engrossed in fishing and tossing those fish back into the chilly waters almost as quickly as he caught them.
I stopped at the second safe haven spot where I have been feeding my furry and feathered friends. I am confident they can congregate here to nosh nuts and dash behind the log into the brush to escape a sudden hawk intrusion. I always get a warm and fuzzy feeling when I arrive and a passel of squirrels come running over, or the Jays, Cardinals and Chickadees alight on nearby branches while I dole out the goodies.
Here are a few of my pals that I took photos of that morning. I especially like the first shot of the Chickadee and squirrel, even if you have to squint to see the Chickadee.
I talked to them, took a lot of photos and moved on to get some more ice shots.
This is the cement landing, covered in snow just like the Creek. It sure looks cold and frosty doesn’t it?
What really piqued my interest was the double set of tracks in the snow-covered ice. I did a Google image search and it came up “a migrating flock of birds” – well, yes … that is what it looked like. I thought perhaps it was the tracks of ducks, or maybe Canada Geese?
On a whim, I remembered fellow blogger Barbara giving me a Facebook site where birders would help you identify an image of a particular bird. I wondered if Facebook had a site for the I.D. of animal tracks. Bingo! “Animals Don’t Cover Their Tracks: Animal Track Identification Help Group” sounded perfect for my query, so I asked to join the group, posted this picture and got lots of responses, which ranged from Crow, Raven, Eagle, Pheasant, Grouse, Wild Turkey and Great Blue Heron. Why didn’t I think of Harry the Heron? Of course it was Harry! I sent the group a few shots of the tracks from far away to give them a perspective on the scale/size of the tracks and also a photo I had of Harry walking across the ice in the past. I told everyone the ice was solid so the Heron would likely not find a fish here anytime soon. It was fun picking everyone’s brain and the general consensus ended up as a Heron’s footprints on the snow-covered ice.
There were lots of human footprints on the snow-covered ice as well.
All too soon I glanced at my watch and it was getting late so I had to get home for work. I knew weather changes were afoot and, though I hate to wish my life away, I would have liked to zip ahead to March.

I went to send you my post of the Heron walking on the ice from a few years ago, but you had already seen it. At least there was some holes in the ice where he could fish from … no way could he fish here.

I heard about your snow on the national news this morning and I thought “yes, Barbara was saying a big snowfall was on the way in a recent comment.” It’s snowing here now and two more inches of snow tonight and again on Thursday night. Sigh. Just as the temps moderate, we’ll have another Arctic Blast this weekend. I put a small load of laundry in at night and first thing in the morning to warm the pipes plus have the water trickling and cupboards open to keep the pipes warm It is horrid to go downstairs as I keep the cellarway door shut to keep the kitchen warm as I sit near the door. I am pretty amazed that people would walk on the ice – that’s a first seeing that and I would not walk across to be honest with you. The ice is pretty, though it, the snow and temps are wreaking havoc with getting to the Park. I’m glad you liked that chickadee and squirrel picture Barbara. That cutie was trying to decide when to make its move to get a walnut piece while the squirrel was there. It kept looking at the stump and finally landed and just stayed there – companions munching away. 🙂

My last day out to walk was Thursday Ann Marie. I don’t know why they have not plowed our street or the cross street, nor salted it either. Maybe the salt doesn’t work in this cold weather but it is slippery out there but my driveway and sidewalk are clear as I shoveled. That is the problem I find in walking to the Park – people don’t shovel the sidewalks or driveways even though there is a fine for not doing so within 24 hours. When I spoke with Jacob that day he mentioned he goes ice fishing too and has a YouTube Channel of where he goes fishing. Did you have a shanty too, or just take some small chairs when you went ice fishing? You were brave? I would not have believed those tracks were from a GBH either – why would he be looking for fish on a frozen pond, but it makes sense as I see him at or near the cement ledge all the time. Thank you for the compliment … I remembered another blogger tracking down a bird she saw by a Facebook site – she posted the photo of the bird and people identified it in a matter of moments. The tracking I.D. group had fun with the tracks giving reasons why they thought it was a certain bird.

It might have to wait until Saturday. If it were clear, I would just go in the car.

My neighbor used to overwinter all my tropical plants – mandevilla tree, hibiscus and she had a door wall off her kitchen, full sun and they did wonderfully. Then she got a dog and had to allow him to go out the doorwall – I kept them in my basement, no sun – goners in no time. If you’ve got the sun, it works better.

I used to do a regular load of laundry, but then had to fiddle with putting it in the dryer, taking it out to avoid creasing, so what I do now is I have a couple of old polyester shirts and I run a very small load, for a 4-6 minute cycle, just enough to warm the pipes. I do that first thing in the morning and before I go to bed and it is no fun going downstairs either time as I keep the cellarway door closed, so you could hang meat in the basement! My exercise bike is down there and I don’t like going down in Winter because it is so cold. I have no room to bring it up here. That’s terrible about your neighbor’s fence. I worry a lot about that happening, now with ice storms and mostly in the Summer with volatile thunderstorms and high wind. There are many old trees in the neighborhood, all in the street behind, so I worry they will fall on the house. Back in 2015, we had high winds in November and the metal shed in my backyard blew off its moorings and tumbled across the yard and broke apart. The winds were clocked at 39 mph just before that happened and my neighbor’s pear tree split in half at the same time.
