Coffee anyone ?

And yes, we have gone out....stabbed into snow drifts with a ski pole until we found the BBQ pit... dug down to the BBQ, and then used the BBQ

The power on our road is Green Mountain Power for a distance and further on is a co-op. GMP trims trees regularly, the co-op doesn't. We don't lose power often, the people with the co-op do.
 
Today was unreal! Sunshine, no rain after 1 am....and, drumroll....62 degrees. :thumbsup
They say tomorrow will be no rain until about 11 pm, but only mid 50s. Still good and I'll be happy to have this break from constant rain. It has rained 14 of 16 days this month. 😲. Mud still better than ice and snow.
 
For use snow would be better than the mud. And then it will melt but usually when it can be better slowly absorbed.....
We had sun come out, partly sunny today, but the wind got up and alot of branches down this evening when I came home from testing.... Wind chill has been tough.... Temps already down to 20 on the way home... teens tonight... then another form of "WEATHER" coming in late Wed night/Thursday.... now they are saying maybe 6 inches then changing to ice/sleet..... A MESS coming in here....
 
Coffee is on. Made it strong this morning.
-6°...... decided to leave the new kits out with their mom's as the heat lamps have been doing their job and both have great nests wit 4 kits. I checked every 2,3 hours. They were good last check. I will probably need a nap today. Thought a 3rd doe would go last night...but nothing so far.
Praying for Texas and those in the south. :eek:
 
Thanks for the coffee, have fed bottle lambs and ran out to feed the birds.
I used to get up every 2 hours on freezing nights when I had does kindling. Saved a lot of kits that way. Yes, you need a nap!
We got another 3” of snow last night. It might not be so bad if we were better prepared and set up for this kind of thing. This is a 50 or 100 year event, so it’s not something that we are used to. We will get above freezing on Saturday, back down to 20 degrees then up to 50 on Sunday and no more freezing temperatures after that.
