Big snowstorm engulfs the mid-Atlantic

For the second year in a row, heavy snowfall will blanket Cape May in December. Right now, the National Weather Service is calling for 9-17" of snow through tonight. If history is any teacher, this will be hard on quite a few birds around Cape May and the rest of the mid-Atlantic coast, and should force sparrows and woodcocks out to road edges and any other open ground they might be able to find.
