What did you accomplish today?

[tangerinegreen555]

Overnight ice storm, I just found out the downside of all the stonework we did on driveways and sidewalks.
Fortunately, I have multiple 40 lb. bags of pet friendly magnesium chloride at both locations.

Global warming is in hiding this morning. Don't slip and fall, it will ruin your day!

Not an accomplishment but something interesting I seen on the news. Was watching my local news and our weather forecast for Sunday is high of 83 and Chicago is -4 so that's an 87deg difference. I thought that was interesting, and cold.lol
@tyler.durden don't go to the Bears/Packers game just stay home bro

We're in a snow storm right now, 8 to 12 inches expected by tonight, already halfway there.

And I just bought a new Ariens snow blower, while you have all the snow.

I have no doubt I'll be using it soon, though.

I have been laying here in bed delaying going downstairs to make coffee as I know a sizeable amount of has snow fallen.

I wish my cats could bring me a coffee and then we cuddle and sleep more.

Just took this pic out the patio, haven't even stepped outside yet to see how bad it really is. Looks like I might have to fire up the payloader to plow today.

Retrained myself using ph drops, it’s been a good probe for about 2 yrs. now, good bye old friend.

I recommend a Bluelab if you get a new one. I had an Oakton and I'm very pleased with the Bluelab (much easier to calibrate).

 

[Grandpapy]

I agree, and just purchasing the probe for the combo meter makes it so nice.

As of yesterday I now have 17 calves in my garage. The snow doesn't bother them but it's suppose to get down to -15ºF tomorrow and I don't want to risk losing anymore, 2 of them didn't make it through the last cold spell, sucks but that's farming. I do what I can. Those 17 are worth about $8K by spring, I have over 60 head now.

Doing livestock is hard work. A dead baby cow transmogrifies to veal.

The eagles like it. We still have a family that hangs around during the winter months. Smart birds.

 

[curious2garden]

Isn't that the truth and the birds need it in winter. Eagles are amazing. When I lived in Big Bear we had a large family of Bald Eagles that lived by the dumpster. They are very smart.

My ravens enjoyed the turkey left overs from Thanksgiving. They land on my patio swing and gruk to call me to bring them breakfast. Although I actually have a video of one of them calling me by name (Vinnie's sibling).

First thing I thought of when I saw the hockey skates.

 

[neosapien]

Yep, had an ice storm here as well. Bout an inch of snow now with a 1/4" of ice over top. Got a sick, puking daughter to boot. Gotta go get some pedialyte.
