hmarg are your slippery roads melting?

I heard you guys have ice rinks down there.
Talked to a somebody in Winona yesterday. He said they're scared to leave their house...afraid they'll fall.

Congrats on your huevos.

Dad got a porcupine yesterday. I wonder what he will get today!

Will that make a mysterious appearance in the neighbors mail box ?

After some 6-10 inches of snow last night it's 38F and sunny out here. Since the chickens attack me every time I open the coop door I decided to let them out. This was a couple hours ago. They're still sitting in the coop looking out the door. I guess you'd call them "chicken."

Not since last night we haven't! It snowed overnight and melted on to the snow a little getting rid of it. I was having to shuffle up and down my hill of a yard to get to my birds 2-3 times a day, it was getting pretty old! I actually used a sled once and slid down to them, I figured I'd have less chance of falling that way... even if it meant smashing into my fencing haha!

This should give you some idea. If you notice how my yard it pretty much just straight ice!

Wow! Yep. That's some ice.

Yuck.

But beautiful photos....

 

[Cebarmlds]

Wow

Thank you! Ice definitely makes for some gorgeous photo opportunities, but pretty much makes everything else suck. We can be grateful it wasn't enough to be bringing down trees and power lines. I didn't hear of any of that.

My thermometer is reading 51 degrees.....


However, I have the remote probe for it in my bird feeder. The angle of the sun is such it is shining directly onto the probe-----Plus the fact the feeder is out of seed----- Which means Judy needs to fill it...

But whatever the temp it is nice outside.

My thermometer is reading around 99.5.
