(Weird) Winter Moments 2019

[WannaBeHillBilly]

Hi Friends,

i was planning to create this thread at the beginning of last week, but life threw some curveballs at me and i just didn't had the serenity, but better late than never; here we go:
We had our first real cold snap on Tuesday night here in West Virginia, had the first snow on the ground in the morning and that was a new experience for most of my ducks. The Spring Ducklings very likely were too young to remember the winter-weather they experienced this spring and for the unplanned Summer Ducklings it was definitely a new experience.

It was also a new experience for the Duckies humon servants, we went from 19°(67F ) on Monday afternoon down to -10°(19F) on Wednesday morning, almost skipping autumn entirely, offering weird opportunities, like a creative new method for storing kitchen towels:

The Duckies left their footprints in the snow:

They got confused about their feet feeling cold, but insisted in eating their cat-food breakfast out of my hands:

(I hate when the door to the duck-house freezes shut!!!)
If you have pictures and videos of your duck's winter and snow experiences, please share!

It was cold the day I took this pic, but we rarely have snow that stays in VA. They were watching me put up fencing on the bottom of the chain link kennel so the chicks can't get through. One is named Pickles and likes to quack so loud, I think she's louder than the BJG roosters.

I don't have pictures because I was too busy with the hammer trying to get latches unfrozen. But love ya'lls pics. My Runners and Buffs and geese [Muscovy are way to sophisticated] walked around all day eating the snow off of things. Scovy's just laid around on their feet and legs. Chickens huddled under the wood shed once they came outside. Way too early for below zero temps.
Hey @WannaBeHillBilly I like the way you store your kitchen towels that's really cool.

We don't get much snow here in GA. But had a bit a few years ago and the ducks loved playing in it.

@Miss Lydia i love your decorations, your setup looks so cute! I’ve gotta work on that.

We got clobbered with snow last March, lost power for 4 days. It was horrible! The ducks fared better than anyone. We have a generator and a hookup for the entire house now.

Loved the pics and videos guys! Sadly here in west Alabama I haven’t gotten ANY snow for the past 3 years I’ve been here.
But it’s cold outside and my ducks are happily swimming in the 10 degrees pond outside.
