This is where I'm at with the run door so far.

Door opened


Door Closed


The birds just fly right in the door lol so I've been keeping it shut for a few hours in the morning and then removing the food and opening it up.

The snow has only melted off the streets here. Sidewalks and unpaved surfaces still have up to 6" of snow. It will be with me for another week. High of 12 F tomorrow. Thursday is the first day above freezing. Saturday is the first day over 40.

The two hens have been staying in the nest box for the last month or so at night and last night they decided to go back to the coop... I wonder what's up with them.

13°F High: 20°F Sunny... going to burn a lot of wood today.

Furnace has been running pretty steady here too. 1F when I got up. -17 windchill.
Relief is coming. Most of next week starting this Sunday will be about 40 for a high.
Massive snowmelt coming. Break out the swimwear!

My brother lives in Reserve Louisiana and he said they got over a foot of snow and it beat the 1895 record for snow.

I spent a couple months in Fort Polk Louisiana in the army. It was November and December 1972. They had a snowfall that shut everything down and the people of the area were terrified.
I worked in Basic Training records with other GIs and Civilians. About half and half. They asked if any of the soldiers were from the north and had experience driving in snow. I was one of the volunteers to take all the civilians home in their respective cars after work that day. The next day we each returned to our respective charges' homes and drove them to work. By then, the half inch of wet snow from the day before was long gone.
It bordered on ridiculous.
