Hauling water is a whole lot of no fun!
If it gets above 40° during the day, I can turn on the water to the rabbitry and barn areas and not have to haul it by hand; I just have to remember to turn it off and drain everything before it freezes at night. Yesterday, when I went into the rabbitry after turning the water back on, the tank to the automatic watering system was still empty. Checked everything leading up to the tank, no problems, concluded there must be a little ice in the valve inside the tank still unmelted. Go back to the house, fill some jugs with hot water to put in the tank, haul 'em out to the rabbitry, and the rabbits are drinking all over the place when I walk in. Yup, tank working fine now - cute.
They've been dithering back and forth as to whether our weather is going to be rain or snow; it all depends on the timing. BB2K's Theater class has a play tonight. I told her that the school may decide conditions are too nasty and cancel evening activities - kind of a "stay tuned" situation.

Snowing now. Been at it a couple hrs but 35 when it began & didn't stick at first. Cold front has moved it to 29 & it's coming down with a vengeance. At this rate, if it keeps up for time predicted, we'll get an easy 4-6 inches. 
--relative term-- I filled all tubs and drained hoses, re closed the cutoffs, etc. Grain this AM, loaded hay and said "have a nice day".
Feb is our worst month. Can it get worse?? Deliver me, please..
