To be fair, it's supposed to get above freezing here tomorrow. But that just means a chance of freezing rain

I'll take snow over freezing rain any day. We're supposed to be getting 3 days of snow this week. If you get that freezing nastiness, be careful going out!

As the rest of the country becomes more frigid, here on the East coast it will be warming up.

Really? I really need to watch the weather once in a while

Remember Margie, with all this winter weather...

Agreed! There is a weather alert out, but just looks like snow right now. And I don't plan on going anywhere being sick. I would have gone to playgroup this morning which isn't far, but not really fair to potentially spread my germs around.
So it's a t.v. day. Hopefully I don't ruin my toddler for life .

Though the wood pile wasn't re-stacked this weekend, so I have to go out anywayPlus check the chicken water for ice. I still haven't gotten a heated bowl or deicer yet

I built this, just need to cut the metal for the top.

The aluminum pan was $1.50 at the dollar store, the socket with an on off switch was $5. online. The rest was scraps, and a lightbulb i had.

Nice! I've seen the cookie tin ones before but never an ingenious one like that. Probably more practical too for bigger bowls

I love my heated water bowl so far though. Holds a lot of water and works great

Problem with bowls is there is so much open water to poop in, toss shavings in etc. I used them in TN and made a slide through box from the outside so just a portion of the bowl was accessible and i could change it without opening the coop.

Well it is 51 outside , but the compost never seemed to warm up. My biggest battle seems to be getting the stupid waterers open. They modified them so they don't fall open but with my old hands and the carpal tunnel surgery i had it is a fight.
I made this as well.

Just need to cut the metal top and i will be all set.
