@frustratedearthmother ...yep, eating way Xtra hay. They produce heat digesting it. I drink more coffee 🤣
@FarmerJamie are you talking what's coming this week? Here it's Wed to get more, coming from your way. Keep it!!!
Howling winds last night. Woke to 3* as feel like! 😱. Made executive decision to go out in a short while later. Made homemade batch of pancakes. Ate & enough for tomorrow -- when I also don't expect to start a vehicle, same as today.
Snow is overall 3-4" but drifts of 8-10" around. Winds...
@FarmerJamie you already have what we're being threatened with -- a huge amount of snow! It is bitter cold!! Hoping I'm prepared enough for animal chores. It will be challenging IF we get 6+ inches. 😵💫

NOW we had been...
Welcome from VA...where it's an almost unheard of 9* this morning. 48 is our norm for this time of year. I could not handle your weather 🫨. But good for you! It's life, right? 😁
Well...it's 9% here outside. House is warm! That little fan does help to direct some of the heat outward into the room. I can see a difference in this area.
Scheduled work for today. Can't go. Both truck doors frozen shut. Car that I de-iced yesterday, no has no heater. Guess something...
I got only a skiff of snow but, ICE !!!
So looked at car and it was totally, solid iced...1/4-1/3" 😱 couldn't even get a hold of door handles try to open. Hood, top, trunk & entire driver side...just a slick of ice. With effort, got the passenger side open. Started it & 20 min later, I could...
