Stay warm up there Wind!

It's actually not really cold. Hovering around freezing. I only had a fleece jacket on while shovelling. BUT, it took me almost two hours to dig to the animals, and then clear out their enclosures. Snow is up to my knees.

I haven't even done anything with the driveway. There's a plow-made snowbank of about 4' high, probably at least 2' wide.

Yes, that's my mailbox on the right.

I'm not getting my car out of there.

My daughter's dog seemed to think it was great. Now to teach her (and mine) to dig out that snowbank!

Dogs do love snow! Be safe out there and don't slip on any ice! ❄

There's a small chance of us losing power and I'm worried about my incubator.
Monday is the hatch date.
We've never been in this situation before with winter.

If the power goes out, wrap the incubator in blankets. The eggs should be in lockdown, so no need for turning. I had that happen to me last year, no power for several days, and the eggs would have been fine except my piece of crap incubator's thermostat malfunctioned a week later and cooked all my babies!

I've incubated before. Just never in winter.

I just had to force the flock back into the coop to stay dry and warm. Some of the bantams were huddled in a corner of the yard.
I mainly wanted them back inside to help spread the fresh bedding around for me

Got two more skeins done this weekend. Man are My fingers and shoulders tired!

I'm honestly done with the snow.
I want to drive on the road again and not be stuck inside the house all the time
