North-central UP today was COLD, beautiful blue skies and sunny. About 10 in snow on the ground now and . Bracing for a classic lake effect dumping this week. Good for the slopes except that blasted cold.
Hope everyone's chickies got their Stormy Kromers pulled down tight.

Waves are crashing on the beach here too, but minus the ice part.

Don't worry, I'll be back in the idyllic North end of the week. Until then...

Better safe than sad and angry, Mary.

, sounds like you are having a delightful time in the warm, warm state, love the wood crane, looks like he should be related to a vulture or turkey, with that bald head.
cat's made me laugh, right next to a tree but they preferred the post

Anyone wanting chicks this year? I'll be hatching lots, & if there's any breeds, or mixes you're looking for, feel free to ask?

Hey @Folly's place have you noticed a new/different mfg date code on your Flock Raiser?
Got this today.... 21348 MFI10
Guessing 2021 day 348(Dec 14th) and a different plant number than I've seen before(usually get MFI1 or MFI3).

We're supposed to get a storm tonight/tomorrow morning. Terri DeBoer (channel 8) says so. We have been missing out on some horrendous weather (flooding rains, blizzards, hurricane force winds, not to mention wildfires!), so I feel like we're kind of due for something.

I'll have to look. My current bags were dated early December. I think Dec. 1st or 3d.

Same here, easily marked like this:

We're supposed to get a storm tonight/tomorrow morning.

Same here, dictated by the Nat'l Weather Service.
The wind is the scariest part.
"Snow and strong winds expected. Total snow
accumulations of 2 to 5 inches. Winds gusting as high as 45
mph."

Yeah, that kind of wind can turn 2" of snow into 2' drifts on our road, depending on the wind direction.

Not to mention the other things winds like that do...

Power outages and/or trees falling on my house.
