Helpful hints for building coops

Thanks for asking....gonna whine

Agggh...still snowing and windy here, supposed to snow and blow all day.
Snow is starting to kinda stick to run roof mesh, and run has at least a foot of snow in it, haven't had the energy to clear it as usual. May have to wade in there and clear the roof despite -5°F temps and -30°F wind chills. Not a fun day.
Will be glad when the vortex is over...then I'll have a one day to clean things up before temps rise well above freezing and it rains for 4 days!
The thaw will be good to reduce height of snow piles, but flooding is an issue....then ice when temps drop back down.
At least the power is on, so it could be much worse

Try to stay warm and be careful of frostbite!

Cappy, if you ever quit building things, half of the hdwe stores would shut their doors..
it is still -25F . wind is calmish, but the wind chill is -40F anyway..
the temp in the sunporch went down to +34F last night. but now with the sun shining it is up to +45F .. didn't seem to hurt the plants any..
I think that is about as low as it will go . things are warming up soon..

With the wind blowing so much I'm glad no one seems to have lost power. Around here, spring is definitely coming, we have bulbs coming up all over. They are saying we might get snow on Monday but I am betting if we do get any snow at all it'll be melted by 10 am.

I was hoping to give you guys hope of spring to come but I can't really blame you.

I just took another tick off my dog! Those things never give up.

I pride myself on not being squeamish but ticks are going to take some getting used to.

Well, that's one advantage to the cold.....no ticks.
