That could be me!
Strange about your trough deicer - likely the thermostat in it has gone. You can try covering the trough at night with a board to help keep the warmth in.
Be safe and warm!
Currently -11C (12F) and overcast not snowing for once. Forecast low is -17C (1F) more snow on the way
:he :he
:thSo exhausted, now I just drive back and forth over the snow and tromp it down, I don’t bother shovelling it.
Holy Dinah! Mother Nature has gone off the rails! That’s just ridiculous, it’s the same here, and now the Great Lakes have started freezing over their warming effect is diminished, that arctic air just flows straight south.
I am exhausted dealing with snow and cold.
That is very chilly, I hope it warms up nice and sunny so everyone can get out and toboggan down some hills ♥️ That’s super fun, I have even used an old cardboard box as a toboggan - you can get some serious speed with that going down hill!
My fingers are crossed for nice weather for you 🥰
That’s wonderful, it’s great when you have success.
I have 5 sleeping in my heated feed room at the moment - 3 are moulting, 1 is the hen who had a crop stasis and pretty near died, and the fifth is my frizzle silkie rooster who has Mycoplasmosis and became quite sick. He stays in all day...
We have Swans here also, one made the News a couple weeks ago - think I posted it for a Pony Sunday.
Now it’s a Great Grey Owl making news here. They are not known to be around here, usually much further north, so it must be coming south for food - it’s been brutally cold up north this winter...
That’s because it’s a BEFORE picture 😁
I haven’t had a chance to get an after picture, my fingers where freezing yesterday, and forgot the phone in the house today.
But don’t worry I didn’t scalp her 😉👍
This was a few years ago in town - we have a large wild Turkey population that can cause trouble in the Spring.
