Sally's GF3 thread

[drstratton]

30+ years ago, we had the coldest winter (94-95) I'm likely to see in my lifetime. We still lived in Grand Rapids, MI, and there were -30°F air temperatures. We had a lot of clear nights, which was part of the reason. This was before the meteorologists started bandying about the term, "polar vortex," but that's probably what we had.

And, I remember the winter of '78, when we had All. That. Snow.

Don't need to do either of those again!

I hope it doesn't hit as bad as they're calling for Sally.

One good thing about the really cold temps? The poop on the floor of the chicken coop and in the run will be frozen solid. I think I'll wear my regular winter boots instead of my chicken boots when I do chicken chores.

I'll look to see if any of the poops look fresh when I'm in the coop. I don't want to step a fresh one. Especially a cecal poop!

We had back to back blizzards in Connecticut in '78. I shoveled 3' off our cars, an amount which is a lot for Connecticut!
