that's part of why i got rid of my chickens. They hate this weather!

we're pretty snowed in too. we have about 9" solid snow/ice standing everywhere right now. much more fell but it compacted. more is supposed to be coming. many of our plans were canceled. DH & I have been having a blast walking to the store (3 mile round trip) and watching people driving cars who really shouldn't be on the road.

we bought our kids a sled when they were still rugrats and they never got to use it. We pulled it out and lent it to our neighbor kids so at least THEY could use it, it's the first sleddable snow i've seen here in 20 years!
