Welcoming in 2022 with the first accumulating snowfall of the Winter. Filled the feeders yesterday in preparation for all of the visitors, and it's been busy all day with Cardinals, Juncos, and others. #KSwx #NewYear2022 pic.twitter.com/b3sNLvKOPt — Jayson Prentice (@SeverePlains) January 1, 2022	Wally might be from Conroe, Texas…but, he loves walking/running on a 10F degrees cold day in KAKEland! #KSwx pic.twitter.com/jHQQrArx9s — Jay Prater, CBM KAKE (@JayPraterKAKE) January 1, 2022	Definitely got good use of the ice scrapper today! Under the snow was thick ice. I lived in the Texas Panhandle for 5 years but only experienced one ice storm. I honestly think the ice was thicker today & this was a minor event. @KAKEnews #kakewx #ice #kswx pic.twitter.com/T2H6PqpYXN — Cameron Venable (@CamVenableKAKE) January 1, 2022
