I am near the foothills of the Cascades in Snohomish county, and the wind is already howling!!

And today is HATCH DAY!!!

And I have 2 sets of chicks already in 2 brooder boxes!!! Trying to figure out how to keep them warm if we lose power. Cranking the heat in the house now. They said winds wouldn't pick up until this afternoon, but they are already blowing really good here!! Praying the power doesn't go out.....

If you do loose power you can fill up milk jugs with hot water and drap a towel over them the chicks will huddle under it It might help for a few hrs??? Be praying right along with you

The storm is from Northern California up into BC. Winds on the Oregon coast are forecast for the 80 mph range with heavy rain, snow in the Cascades and a snow level around 2,000' east of the Cascades (which, since most of the land east of the Cascades is around 3,000-4,000' in elevations just means: SNOW!)

There's someone in Port Angeles on this forum and noone tells me?

Yeah we're getting the winds BAD here, but so far - No power loss. This is our third windstorm in the past two weeks, and luckily we have not lost power. . . I have over 50 eggs in bators, and really do NOT want to lose them!!
