What's the temperature where you are???

Last time mobile had snow was back in 2018
We got enough snow
that I went walking and stomping around in the snow like a kid
I was 56 then what a difference 7 years make
Now all I am thinking about is safety and I don’t want to fall again, I fell in November (blood pressure meds make me dizzy and off balance )

The body does not do what it suppose to do anymore, while the mind is still doing it wonderful work.

Take super care not to fall again if you can. Many older people lose their independent through having a fall and not able to move able themself.

I used to walk just go to where I want to go, now I am mindful of each steps, a sudden turn will cause my knees ache and pain.

Yup…. Nope! Though have to say if I had to choose between mud and snow, I would choose snow. At least it can be moved around and packs down hard, mud is just miserable!

Actually it’s been a lack of snow storms here, all that snow I have is “lake effect” snow. It’s been a very dry year storm wise this winter.

We do not have snow over here, except lots of mud and I do not choose mud, messy, muddy, itchy, and dirty.

Right now
Clear blue sky
Light wind
Fresh clean air - after the rain the air is fresh, clean and sweet, but only if there is no further rain which is the case today. When the air is thick and humid, that is an indication that more rain is coming.

No chickens are outside.

I really feel for those of you in southern areas, I know I whine about this weather, but we have measures in place to prevent pipes from freezing, etc. I feel terrible that you have to deal with cold and snow.

Exactly. We're used to it so we've learned to deal with just about anything Mother Nature throws at us. I do feel bad for those who are being literally shocked by the snow and cold and unknowing of what to do, if anything.

I giggled once about a person in Florida who ran out to buy a coop heater when their weather was going to drop down into the 40's. Of course, even those who heat our coops know that temp is fine, but if someone wants to keep their beauties from having to deal with temps they aren't used to, so be it. To each their own!

After a couple hours of sleazy Slippy, freezing rain hail garbage falling from the sky- I now have snow, but the wind kicked up so it sideways now. I still have to go out and lock up my geese. I got all the ducks and chickies safely tucked away for the week.
My neighbors are skiing down their driveway. I walk very slowly carrying a small bucket of sand with a scoop. I sprinkle sand ahead of every step I take. I’m sure I look ridiculous, but I sure don’t want to fall.
