First snow in NJ - Many more to come

I'll selflessly donate all our snow to you (until maybe late December), but the catch is you also get the heavy rain! Our chickens may turn themselves into chicken soup!

Hmmm... might have to think about that then... because we had heavy rain all summer. These last few days the girls FINALLY kicked the last of the mud off of their ankles!

it's back above 0F now...

Power went out and my quail almost died. I stuffed them in my shirt to keep them warm till the power came on. Thankfully none of them pooped

Keep some of the instant hand-warmer packets on hand... I've used those when the power went out and they work great! I've also done what you did... but usually not more than one bird at a time!! LOL! Good job!!

oh my gosh! You may have to jot down some of this weird day, for reminiscing (??sp?) years from now!

All 5 went in my shirt plus a d'uccle chick on the side. I will get some hand warmers. Cant wait to tell the DGF when I talk to her on the phone lol

I am in Stockton and it is still slushing (sort of raining, sort of snowing) here. I just went out to visit the ladies and they are sitting under the coop making unhappy noises. They are soaking wet.

We have had our first snow here in the UK midlands today.
It got dark early and as we have just changed to GMT I got confused as to what time it was and was late putting the hens to bed. One decided she was not going to sleep in the coop so I had to find her in the dark. It was very slippery and I trod in something..not quite sure what...but they are all safe and sound now. It is just above freezing at the moment.

Our rain is supposed to morph into snow, up to 3" & maybe 2" more tomorrow
