Are you looking at a lot of snow Sour?

No. I believe it is finished, and we got around 6". It's now starting to drift. Coastal NJ got between a foot and 15".

CS, it's trying to dirt bathe, and there's no dirt. It's comical.

Water pump covered, pool pump running real slow, and some of our plants are covered.

The rat patrol has caught a squirrel in the live trap, and a little bird. The little bird is in a box in the breakfast nook, recovering. I think it wore itself out trying to escape the trap.

He's got a swimming pool (his size) with more dirt in it now... He scattered the dirt from stem to stern playing in the box!

It's 30 degrees out. The birds are snug in their coop, and seem to be fine. Dh checked on them a bit earlier. He said he could tell the coop was warmer when he got inside. I brought the one, lone hen inside. She's settled down nicely.

I've got the heating pad under Quacker Sparkle's duck house, and she seems content.

The little bird that got caught in the live trap, is in a box, with a makeshift nest I built using hay. I put in some water, and bird seed. It too has settled in nicely. I'll see how it's doing tomorrow, and probably let it go.

It's 26 degrees out now. This is horrible.
