well made it up the driveway once in the truck, that was it compacked it, so put on the redneck chains on it so if i go to work tomorrow can at least get up to the main road and take them off. but they are calling for 16* tonight so all that slop will turn into ice....oh yeah..

one thing i forgot to get yesterday was smokes cleared off the dw car<front wheel drive> it zipped right up the driveway once up there dang the main roads are a mess one car in the ditch and a tractor trailer spinning it's tires....

we have 3" now and still coming down....

@canesisters hope that truck gets out of there soon so you can get safely home..

A stuck garbage truck is no fun. It was part of my job to call wrecker trucks. Once a front loader flipped over on a major highway that took 3 of those BIG wreckers to pull back upright. Had to close down the highway, reroute traffic, it was a mess.

I hope they get the truck out soon and you can go HOME.

Everyone not use to snow make sure you wash your car in a few days. Pay careful attenuation to under carriage. Salt put down on roads can eat away your car if not washed off

@Nyboy funny you brought that up, i go by a blue bacon truck wash everyday. yesterday evening that place was backed up onto the road, now why would a driver pay 70.00 to wash their t/t knowing good darn well that it's going to be a mess on the roads doesn't matter which way they were going....go figure...

Silly chuckle-heads...
While they were arguing about who's job it was or wasn't to hook up to the stuck truck and drag him out - 2 more have pulled up.
I TOLD them, the longer we sit here... the more trucks are going to roll up....

Ok. THIS is the difference between TX and the Midwest. We have been having a real winter. For the past 5 days we have started below 0 degrees F and EVERYBODY, inCLUDING the animals is getting sick of it! My horses don't even want to play when I kick them out to do their stalls, and nobody needs to ask them to come back in.
Here are some pictures from this morning, when it was -4 degrees F. Btw, yesterday it was about 12 above but the wind chills were easily below zero. My gloves hadn't dried out and I had to run inside to get a different pair bc I was getting frostbite!! My feet have been so warm with my new boots that I didn't think about my hands suffering. I had to run them under lukewarm water to get the feeling back. When I was done my chores my underclothes were soaking wet from sweat. The 2nd pair of gloves was still wet this morning, but the 1st pair was dry. I count on just hanging my socks and gloves on the boiler pipes in the basement, but it didn't work for my gloves. This perpetual cold is downright dangerous and I thoroughly respect those of you in WI and MI who get this cold every winter.
Here are my dirty but fat and healthy horses:

Here is my flock, nice and warm:

You can see most of my 12 hens. The brown EE's are 3yo this year, the SLW's are 2yo this year, and the other white EE mixes and black EE mixes are 1yo.
Nasty starlings have been squatting!!!! This mess is from one night in a nest box.
