BURKES GARDEN, VA -- BBC reporting from the General Store in blizzard blasted birding hot spot of the Commonwealth. Hit by 54 inches of snowfall. Our birders are crawling like arctic snowplows through all of this. Have any other birders ever traveled with a massive VDOT snow blower with four long augers dragging snow off the road. Do we have photos for you? Yep. We'll post a pile of pix tonight of houses snowed across the porches and covering doors. Cars covered over the widows. We are enjoying snow drifts up to eight feet deep. God has saved these tough mountain folks. Forecast for this coming Monday is 2-3 feet. Even our john Moyle is shocked. He has never dug out of 6 to 8 feet of snow depth. This rivals Dave Worley and Wallace Coffey's 2005 dead of winter Minnesota birding trip with Andy Jones. "Nah !" Worley says and shakes his head. "I have not seen a single Great Gray Owl or a Hawk Owl." Dave said to call Diana and tell her he loves her if the BBC party is not home by Wednesday. Send snowshoes.... Wallace Coffey Arctic Circle
