Something is knocking on the side of my house

I'm sitting here watching CNN and suddenly hear something knocking on the side of the house. It's been banging for the past 15 minutes. Pretty loud up here on the 2nd story, but pretty dull downstairs.

I went downstairs and didn't see anyone trying to scale the house. I have no idea what it could be. It's snowing pretty good outside so I don't think anyone would want to climb my house at 2:30am in the freezing cold/snow.

Any thoughts? What should I do? I've got my knife sitting here next to me just in case (has a 6" blade :cool: ) and a mouse that won't stop blinking I could throw at whoever comes through the window.

Do you have any trees with branches that could be scraping the side of the house? Branches that might be weighed down with snow, maybe? If not that, then it could be some sort of animal. Last semester, we had a family of 6 squirrels living in a hole in the side of our apartment. We'd hear scratching noises but we couldn't figure out what the noise was. Then we saw some squirrels and did the math.

I can see the latest post about 15 minutes from now.

"I was bleeding to death on the street and tried getting this a$$holes attention by throwing rocks at his house. He stuck his head out and didn't do jack squat".

My guess is that one of the nails has come loose from your rain gutter and its slapping back and forth from the wind

They don't eat, don't sleep
They don't feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push, don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fvck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend

Is the noise repetitive or intensify with the wind?
