sounds exactly like us except for the snow. We have about 2' on the ground but no more coming for a while. We should hit between -20 to -30 tonight with windchills I'd rather not think about. Not something we weren't ready for. Our coldest weather, every year without fail, always lands on or near Valentine's Day. Every single cold record has been set within these few days, depending upon the exact moon phase.
It's the same here, can't even see out the windows it's a whiteout right now.
In the US, some food is radiated to get rid of bacteria (or anything else that's alive). For water, UV lights are used. That might work in the basement.
Around here, some snow is dumped in the sea, and some is gathered in special snow gathering spot. They get tons and tons of the stuff there, and sometimes some surprises too. My favorite was one year when they found a Nissan Micra among the melting snow in the Spring
haahaaa-- then I should set up the grow lights on the kitchen table where I can sit under them too!! lol
Quote: Geez-- no speed limits!! Could be dangerous for someone that does not know the area. Cake for one who drives those roads regularly.
Our mailbox was the last on the list to clear. lol By tomorrow it will be snowed in again by the big town plows!! Still need to clear more before tonight . . ..
I hatched my first turkey just now! So excited after waiting so long for some hens then eggs!
Quote: Yes I am worried about the eggs she is hiding in her nest. Her nest is a truck tire with hay filled in it. She laid the eggs in there and covered them up because before the last freeze I stole her clutch of 11 eggs and put them in the bator. She was not happy with me and hid these. I guess I will leave them, she is not yet sitting on them she is collecting her a clutch.
Thanks everyone for all the congrats! Diva I did have a bunch of Chantecler chicks for tutors but our son and dil took them home. But my first Buckeye chick did also hatch yesterday. and the next several days I will have more hatching.
When I took a Foods class taught by the ag dept at college the profs didn't think the guideline of no eggs was real. As in they didn't have faith in the science behind saying no eggs. So I have always eaten eggs, several dozen a week when the girls are at peak. Funny how they still aren't willing to go after bread, pasta, and the junk food laced with fats like potato chips and twinkies. Dr Atkins points to several studies that when fats and high carb foods are part of the diet, bad things start to happen in the body.
Quote:You get an A+ !!!!!! My cholesterol was creeping over 190, when I changed to a lower carb diet, and the number dropped to under 175. The good ones were very high and the bad ones very low. I guess I shouldn't say I ate a lot of butter, fatty meats and such. It was the bread and pasta and such that I cut out.
Yup, think this is the coldest winter I can remember. In years past, it didn't snow if the temp was much under 30, now it is a regular occurrence. Snow goes crunch - chrunch. WHen temps are at 0, the "crunch" is stronger and slightly drier!!
