Not a lot of snow this winter, but we did get a few (c. 3”)inches of pretty snow on December 8th, and I managed to take this picture of a male Northern cardinal through my window with my iPhone.

Not sure how much snow we got but I’d guess at least five inches. It was a wet, heavy snow, and knocked the power out for a couple of days.
I took this picture at 6:55 AM on Thursday April 4th, while it was still snowing, and before the really heavy winds kicked in.

It was still snowing when I took these, and it’s still snowing now; large, wet flakes.
Six hours later, and it’s still snowing.

I actually took this picture a week ago today, during the previous snow fall. It’s taken me that long to decide what the bird was. It was crow-black, and had a crow-typical perch, but it wasn’ the mammoth size of the local American crows. It is, I think (after consulting my sibling and expert birder brother) a Fish Crow (Corvus ossifragus). They are here, and fairly common, but I usually hear them rather than see them. This one was perched for quite a while:

This was a heavy, wet snow that lingered long enough to take pictures this morning, but now, the breeze and sun have already made some inroads.
