One afternoon I looked out the back window and saw a squirrel scouring a nearby tree for sustenance.
The squirrel was prepared to go to great lengths to collect food.
Winter in Chelsea: 9/10 February 2015
Look! More icicles!
Winter in Chelsea: 8 February 2015
A sunny Sunday in early February began to melt the icicles.
It’s winter’s exclamation point.
Though the icicles were melting, it was still cold enough outside to encourage local wildlife to seek the warmth of the house.
I named him Harold.

After Super Bowl Sunday’s enthusiastic snowfall, a stiff wind worked hard to sculpt the snow.
Winter in Chelsea: 1 February 2015
Super Bowl Sunday brought the first serious snowstorm of the season. It started snowing early in the day and didn’t stop until late in the evening, resulting in a multitude of school closures throughout the county.
The mule wasn’t too concerned about it.
The cold windy day didn’t stop my nephews from enjoying the snow!
(In the above picture, some of the snow in the air is still falling. The rest of it is being blown by an icy blast of wind.)

Winter in Chelsea: 11 January 2015
With snow on the ground and in the air, I headed downtown (very) late in the evening to get a few photos of Chelsea dressed up in its winter finery. The evening’s heavy snowfall made Chelsea seem even quieter than it normally is at that hour.
Winter in Chelsea: 4 January 2015
This winter took a while to arrive, but it finally showed up with a light snowfall early in January. As a fan of winter, I celebrated the occasion by heading outside to take a few photos.
The cats didn’t mind the arrival of winter.

Christmas in Chelsea: 5/6 December 2014
Chelsea held its Christmas celebration a couple weeks ago. In contrast to those of the past few years, the 2014 events were not held in frigid temperatures and snowstorms — a welcome change for my fingers!
Friday’s fun kicked off with the tree lighting ceremony.
A choir from CHS led the crowd in a few Christmas songs…
…the fair queen threw the switch to light the tree…
…and then some guy with a lot of facial hair and a distinct fashion sense showed up to address the crowd.
After the tree lighting ceremony, the Common Chords bell choir played its annual show at the Chelsea Library.
They always draw a good crowd.
