Some serious snowfall can prompt a person to stay indoors with their slippers and robe handy, but if you're an eagle with an egg on the way?And Jackie, the beloved bald eagle living near Big Bear Lake, weathered the weather with aplomb on Jan. 14, laying an egg at some point during the cold, wet afternoon.
