This is a pretty popular meme around these parts :

I get that completely. I do not miss scorpions, snakes, BIG spiders any more than I miss 120F. Heat does have its downsides! Although the temperatures you guys have been reporting lately….

I'm hoping for next winter we can have heated water for the birds too, but we can't run power to the barn and coop at the same time. We'll try to remedy that situation this summer!

Why not? It shouldn't be much more digging a trench from the house main breaker box to the barn and coop. Think of it like long extension cord but instead of plugging into a outlet it's homerun to the main and a breaker and burried instead.

Yeah I know we can do that, I mean we can't get power both places currently. And we won't be able to dig anything for... A good 4 months? Yay NH

Current headline article on phone Google:

It's going to be sunny during the day with much higher daytime temps They say this cold snap is because of the storm that hit us this week. It seems to be the week for storms and crazy weather?

This was the ENTIRE snow for 2015-16 winter....end of day, we got no more and it melted the next day! Taken 1-17-16 - not more than an inch. Only some flurries year before.

This year 10" of snow on 1-4-18. & a week of freezing weather. Could be worse. Just extreme for my area.


I AM thankful to the good Lord that I am still able to haul the
30-40 gal of hot water each day (in 25 mph winds today!)

It's all good -- just inconvenient as can be. AND COLD
Monday we will be back to "normal" temps 45-50 days, 35 nights. I'm ready for that.

Snow, snow go away come again another day and fall in Maine. Where it's suppose to fall lots.

Ummm, I guess the pipes froze?

Water pressure just disappeared.
