How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Once again I apologize for the cold snap that started here last week and has made it's way to the east coast.

However: I have to warn you that we are now getting VERY large amounts of snow and it is heading east. We got 10 inches so far and it's still snowing. Brace yourself Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana....here it comes....

We plowed snow for 6 hours today! 1/4 mile driveway plus a parking lot sized area in front of the house and paths to the chickens. We were using 2 ATV's with snow plows attached to the front.

Thankfully the cold gets moderated by going over the Great Lakes before it gets to us, but I think we'll still get some below zero stuff a day or two. That said, the 4 inches of snow with a half inch of glaze ice over it was murder to attempt to snowblow yesterday. It didn't take me 6 hours but it felt like my tires had turned square at some points. Today it's just a howling wind and temps dropping. It's cold enough here but the northern part of the state is supposed to see windchills of -60 tonight. I always make myself feel better about how cold it is by checking the Mount Washington Observatory page and thinking hey, at least it's not -20 with 110 mph winds, lol. Hopefully my girls don't start involuntarily flying!
 
It is frigid cold today. It will be interesting to see how many there aren't when I get home :) Yesterday was 4/13, but the temps swooped down about 30 or so degrees since then.
