I just had to run down to the basement for an emergency cable fix. Turns out those rascally kittens were having a hay day batting at a dangling cable down there and dislodged the cable that comes in from the antenna and goes to the converter from its crimp on end. what a bunch of little goofy fuzz balls!

ok, what is the one thing you couldn't face winter without having it?

for me, its the ice armor fleecelined wind pants. I put them on every danged morning in the winter and do chicken chores. They made the biggest difference to me last year, don't know why I spent years and years messing with long underwear and jeans!

Ohhh, I love that idea.

For me, seat warmers in my car and a coffee maker with a timer on it.

I have a pair of snow pants by Colombia that i found invaluable around the farm last winter. they slip over anything and are plenty warm for working on jobs out in the snow. add long johns or sweat pants under if it is extra cold out

Took a super cool panoramic photo of my coop Top much for this site.

Where do I get some? I am 5'2" and "stocky" and my snow pants got torn up last winter, catching on the wire in the pens. Duct tape over the tears didn't seem to do the trick in zero-degree weather

I got mine on sale at fleet farm. they are too long for me, but they just stay on top of my boots - unless I am wearing the big rubber mud boots. i got them really big, so they go on easy over jeans, but still work without jeans too. best thing ever! pretty lightweight because they are just polar fleece with a wind jacket type cover. So I would try fleet farm or amazon.... I forget when the ice fishing stuff goes on really good sale at ff.

I put them on this morning. I know it isn't that cold yet, but I am a wimp.

I kept my girls in the run yesterday they didn't seem to like it very much this morning when I went out to open up the door they were standing right in front of it and as soon as I opened it a little bit out they all ran.. They must've thought they were going to be trapped in there again today and gave me a sneak attack ... Little herd of chickens running out the door was pretty funny...

I know! It's so funny how they trample each other just to get out the door and then they're out in the nasty blustery cold all huddled up looking just miserable but they refuse to go hang out in the nice cozy, wind-free coop/run/greenhouse. Birdbrains....
I left mine locked in today
