Had a bluejay that started dive-bombing my cat in the backyard. The cat
very obviously was not happy about this. This went on for a number of
days. It looked like the bluejay was getting more daring. Then suddenly...
no bluejay. We did find some feathers though...

Never seen one of those, myself. Although I've seen Armadillos and
Possums do exactly that.

Snow? What's that? Oh yeah. That's the wet, slushy stuff which makes
a mess and ices up the roads. And makes wet, slushy snowballs or very
hard icy ones. But it only lasts a day or two, if that.

I figured that might be the answer here.
