but they won't want to be out there now!

Most of mine came out to hang under the coop.

About an inch of snow with a light rain freezing on top. A nice crunchy mix. Chickens were in the coop all day with a hanging cabbage to keep them entertained. Coop is at 36'F with 87% humidity. Good enough for 8 eggs today.

The county plow just went through. I love these guys. They really take good care of the roads here. I'm going to go out and plow before it gets dark.

Did you get to see where the county truck running just the belly blade or the big-ole nose beast?

Parts of my driveway are 2-3" of pure slush...
....wonder how that's gonna go thru the thrower?

We've had somewhere between 8 and 10 inches - hard to tell for sure because of the wind. Spent over an hour or on the tractor and got the drive from the house down cleared, still have to do back to the coop. Windy as heck.

It was the dump truck with a belly blade. Last winter we had enough snow that they brought out the big grader with the huge nose blade.

Do you have a 2-stage blower? I have an 8HP Toro that can throw even slush some 20 feet.
Good luck getting your driveway cleared.

Only 2" here today. Not the 8" they were predicting.

Only 2" here (as measured on the patio table). Used the tractor to clear the driveway and the road that the County truck missed. Paths cleared to the garage and the coop. I love my tractor.

Dayum, that sounds like walking to school thru 10 feet of snow uphill both ways!!

Nope, old single stage on garden tractor...won't throw slush(especially this literally liquid slush-that may freeze solid over night) but will cut thru some massive frozen plow wash accumulations.

Thanks, gonna need it.
They've downgraded the forecast from 4-5" to ~3".
