A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Well enjoy it whilst thou canst Sir Ralphie. It ain’t gonna last long.

Really? I suppose it could be, like, swirling around... Our wind is NNW. Of course our wind is heavily influenced by topography so I guess that’s not all that significant.

Holy Smokes! It IS coming from the east... or the south. (I hate southern blizzards... they’re the worst.) https://radar.weather.gov/Conus/index_loop.php

Everyone surviving this weather ok? We had an eventful evening with thunderstorms and 50mph winds. We are still under Tornado Watches and its still blowing like crazy.

Speaking of crazy....anyone else see the Cylcone Bomb in Colorado blow over that semi truck? There was a clip of it on the national news. Yipes!

Haven't gone and checked on the girls yet. Hoping the wind didn't blow their feathers off!!

I'm seeing 9-12 mph winds and the storm is still west of me. I'm sure it'll be here soon enough, though the main heavy bands seem to still be on top of you.

We are currently under the back edge & rain is slowing down. Wind still scary! Hang on over there Rjohn!!

This coonhound is so funny! Opened the door to let the dogs have a quick morning "constitutional ". The Aussies trotted right out in their business like manner. The coonhound poked his head out the door, turned & ran. Found him in my bed feigning sleep.

My chickens are just fine, snug in their coops since they can't get out with the drifts that are currently in front of the openings. I'll go fix that later.
I still had to go to work even though the truck with our mail is stuck in a ditch, my office in charge still wants scans done.
It's blowing and angry out, but warm, so not terrible I guess.

It's 44 and sunny here right now and supposed to get to the mid 60s by this afternoon

All of you that are stuck the snow, winds, and rain, stay safe and dry! Cold and snow are supposed to come here tomorrow night through Saturday morning but nothing like what you all had.

It is raining moonson style here. The temps are mid to hig 40s, no wind to speak of..

The snow is taking a beating.. pure ice on the ground with a layer of water over it. The ground is still frozen so the rain freezes from the ground upward.. walking is treacherous.

My turkey hens are trying to screw me up. When I set eggs on Tuesday I used all my eggs. I have a person wanting a dozen turkey eggs on Saturday. I have been getting 6 or more a day. Yesterday I got 3..

They are going to withhold eggs so I miss the number I need, I know it..

Hopefully it is just a one day thing. I moved. Chickens around to new pens and changed roosters Tuesday. It caused major uproars in the barn. They protest loudly at any changes.. I hope they are over them and I get 8-9 eggs today.

Well, I found the snow. It’s all piled up in front of each and every entrance to my poultry yard. Well, it was. I shoveled it out and it looks like I’ll get to do it again. This picture totally fails to do it justice. Notice the handles of the wheelbarrow. It was sitting on a foot & a half of snow already, poor thing. The orange things are flagging tape, blowing hard.

I didn’t see the cows so I got all bundled up to go looking for them. They were in the barn, laying down. Obviously I inspired them, because after I gave them treats they came out and started climbing in the feeder.

I’m not gonna worry about it. Seriously. The poor Weather Channel guy in Rapid City, trying to make it look like they got a lot of snow. He should come here... only he couldn’t do it if he wanted to. It doesn’t show well on camera, I gotta admit. It’s much more impressive in person. I-90 is closed, so I’m sure they’re not as good as they look in the pictures.

Anyway our power didn’t go out yet More surprising, we still have internet and satellite TV. I didn’t actually give the chickens any food since I left it in the coop last night and they hadn’t finished it and I was worried about the cows. Soooo I gotta do that. No big rush, though. The wind is still blowing hard and harder, then hard again. I am a happy girl. Not a major blizzard for us, even if they did give it a name.
