A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

There was 2 1/4" by midnight and another 2" this morning. The low so far has been 31°F. I saved a couple of trees after midnight. The wind came up and helped keep the snow from sticking to the trees. There are going to be broken branches especially with the Russian Olives which were already hanging low due to to massive crop of olives.

The tom was the only one still on the roost this morning.

The deck at midnight last night.

The garden this morning.

Way too early!

That's a fairly big storm, looks like it could get up to Cindy and Ralphie...

Please wash your mouth out with soap!

Can't believe the snow. Crazy

I just came back in from shaking aspen trees. Poor things are almost bent double, some of them. I got around 3/4ths of them shook, I guess. I looked like the abominable snow monster, little snowballs hanging from my hair and all over my shirt... My (sorta) frozen fingers are all better now.

I may wait for the wind to set the rest free. It's supposed to be windy tomorrow. Last time we had this kind of early storm, I didn't free the trees for a couple weeks and they recovered fully, so I think I have time. There are USFS aspen trees all around this area that still look like dancers bowing almost to the ground from what? Maybe ten years ago? I couldn't do the whole forest.

The damage here looks to be mainly the Russian Olives.

I wish I could do Russian olives. DH would flip, though, even if they're legal to grow here. I never checked 'cause it won't make any difference.

Glad it's not snowing here. I'd have to dig out Daisy's muck boots.

The hen on her hidden nest was so well covered that I couldn't even see her. I finally cleared enough snow away that I was able to chase her off of the nest.

Wow. Just wow.
91 here today in Indiana. I decided to use up the last of my supply of frozen watermelon for the chickens.

I don't want either extreme temperature.
64f and much needed rain today
