Going Out Like A Lion

What a storm we had last night!  All the birdhouses balanced on our fence posts are blown over, and the front yard is littered with branches. 

 
The wind howled all night, unrelentingly, and this morning there was a thin coating of ice and frozen snow on the deck.  And the wind is still blowing strong.

It being March 30, I think this qualifies as "Going Out Like a Lion."  And next week?  Dare we believe the forecast?
