I assume Fahrenheit, but it doesn't really matter, that is lousy cold!
At least you can enjoy the Good air quality!
This winter is as extreme as the last summer.

Good Morning, Day, Afternoon, Evening or Night to everybody on the Blue Marble!

Cold, cold cold! Yesterday evening the ducks went inside the duck house on their own and only the hard core came back out to try the supper-bowl. I don't know how cold it is outside because the outdoor thermometer's battery froze and cracked. (Note to myself: Don't put dollar-store batteries into the outdorr-thermometer!)

Babies. They are very peepish and scared right now so I’m giving them some time to settle down.

What a nice mixed flock of ducks! You have heavier breeds than i have - well started with. Some of my mixed breed birds got really "bulky".

Now who's the glutton?

Thank you. I like my quirky little flock of non breed standard birds. Even if I spent a small fortune on "show quality" silver appleyard eggs they are still pretty. I have one pekin hen whose a good kg heavier then the others. If she doesn't start laying soon I may turn her into bacon. I am missing my breakfast eggs

I almost "parked" my car in the creek today: All wheel drive is pretty much useless when your driveway has turned into a solid sh¡t of ice. Slid downhill about 20 meters before i could turn the car sideways. Left the car and crawled home on all four. Strange thing is that i drove down the driveway two hours earlier without problems.
Car is secured now with shims under the downhill wheels and i hope tomorrow i can get it out. It is supposed to be 8° (46F) and sunny, so that ice will hopefully melt. I also applied a generous amount of salt…

Hillbilly, be careful with that ice.

Cat litter helps too. Not the clumping kind.
