Bad aim

Have Ralphie build you a guillotine.

They're forecasting another cold night/early morning, looking ahead it's supposed to be -40 with wind-chill tomorrow morning. Hopefully this cold weather and wind stops because we just set eggs under a broody bantam wyandotte

I pulled the heat lamp out. It’s s premier heat lamp and it’s so big that the birds sorta have issues with roosting where it hangs. Found two girls nested down under the broody coop. I’m sure they had issues.
So hands and knees got them out and back on the roost.

It’s coming down fast out there

Made boiled ham dinner with a korbert ham in the instant pot. Wow wow wow. It tasted so good. I had to cut the ham up of course but I love that appliance. 20 minutes.

Well, looks like the storm is over here...the weatherdorks missed it, again.

I don’t think we have 3 inches.

 

[duluthralphie]

Yes he should.

I can lend you a PVC cutter.

Hmmm. It looks like BYC has done a new look again. We can see mobile emojis now? Wowser. Rit rrr BYC.

Beautiful and more white outside. We're in for more accumulations. By the end of the week the snowfall tallies for this weekend's precip is saying 14 new inches...? Is that what everybody else is getting too? I got only glimpse of a snowfall total map.

Chickens: In the run. comfortable. Probably bored to pieces. Long winter.... 3 Pullets continue to lay.
So when I get my garden a going I'm thinking cattle panels to keep chickens and deer out. And then I'll have to wrap some fencing around bottom for bunnies. I'm going to look up what you are doing there with making that cattle panel more sturdy.

We use cattle panels around our garden. No kangaroos yet. We do plant stuff all around the edges, so maybe that discourages them. We read somewhere that they won't jump a fence if they can't see what's on the other side. (Or something like that.) I have smaller-squared fencing around the bottom to keep the bunnies out.

My instant pot is my favorite kitchen toy.

Not sure how much snow we got here on the prairie, but it came down thick and fast from 10:30 this morning through most of the day. The winds are supposed to pick up tonight, causing blizzard conditions. Plows will not be out until the snowing and blowing is over - possibly Sunday. We are happily hunkered down here, just waiting it out.

Well, it was a 17th century device used in France to remove the heads of royalty..

Morning . Deck looks slushy . No traffic moving . The rain did not remove the snow . 35 now and up to 37 before temps start to plunge after 10 AM . Low of 3 tomorrow morning . I feat this is going to be slippery . Not good . I no longer bounce . Need ice creepers . Need to clear the driveway before the slush freezes .
