Hi Corbs!

We woke up at 6 am to -6 degrees this morning with 8 inches of powder snow.
We are up to 4 degrees now. Windchill is killer at -23 degrees.

Donned the doubled socks, sweats, shirts and jackets and muck boots to go feed.
Took jugs of hot water to feed the barn cats and chickens. Good thing we did because the pump was frozen in the barn...heat lamp bulb quit. Changed the bulb and fed chickens and cats.

The diesel feed truck refused to start and neither would the tractor...until later in the day....even though both were plugged in to warm the engines.
So we filled buckets with feed and drove the F150, made ruts in the snow and poured the feed in the ruts for the cows.
While we were breaking ice in the ponds for the cows, I slipped in up to my calf. Had to go back to the house to change to dry clothes and warm up a bit. Had to wear grocery sacks to keep my feet dry since my boot was wet.

Checked and the tractor started so we put out more hay in three pastures. Fed the neighbor’s herd.
Done by 2:30 pm

They work great for the quail, but my bunnies like to chew a bit too much. I had to take them away from them earlier this summer. Spyro had his almost completely chewed to nothing . They have chew sticks, but I guess plastic is more fun.

We are on propane heat. Both tanks are full so for now we are good.
We have rural co-op electric. So far no issues, but we are abiding by the recommended low power use.
If our electric goes out, we have no well water. This means we can’t drip faucets...pipes might freeze.
Without electric we can’t charge the engine warmers for the tractor and diesel trucks ...won’t start.
I keep solar charged light bulbs and have solar outside lights.

Are you trying to say the southies are soft??

Are you trying to say the southies are soft??

No never! They handle 200 degree heat and 500% humidity in the summer! no way I could survive that! Just like they’re barely surviving the cold now! Just that they finally get to experience it and snow and know what it’s like!
