Yeah I can't wrap my brain around it, I feel like a high school science failure. Lol that's the only time I've had to know Celsius!

We had an inch or 2 about 2 weeks ago; it's been so cold it hasn't melted yet except on the roads and a few of the sunnier spots. When it's really cold, it usually doesn't snow either; but it's warming up a little now (40F/16F)-- so the snow may melt off finally. Doesn't look like we'll get any precipitation for the next week.

We got a lot of snow for here for this time of the year. We are on day 3 of having snow on the ground. I didn't measure, but we probably got 6-9inches. It was very heavy and wet, great for packing! We had a lot of branches down, and a lot of people lost power. We could hear trees falling in the woods behind us. Everyone was under a travel ban until the roads cleared a bit. (Here 1 inch shuts things down.) I'm really excited about the slow slow melt!
It brought down our chicken netting, but that's easy to fix. it wasn't meant to hold up hundreds of pounds of snow. We almost lost our greenhouses under the weight, but we're able to get the proofs cleared before they collapsed. The weatherman predicted a "trace"... Then 1-3"... Then 5-10"... :)

I live in ALABAMA!. I didn't even bring my winter stuff or shovels when I left Wisconsin. I left them at my mom's house. Silly me!

We were really glad to get the snow. I gladly ate my words! I had told my grandkids that we probably wouldn't get any snow while they were here, and would certainly not get enough to make a snowman!! :)

All our chickens were under here! But the roof held. They had the two smaller coops and an 8x16' area to move around in until I could get to them...

Someone went off the road right past our driveway...
