it's been raining here today, yesterday was snow and shovelling it so it wouldn't be a mess. this week it will be warm (aka above freezing) until this weekend.

i don't like this constant changing back and forth because it brings chances of ice on the roads and everywhere else...

Wow, y'all with snow & cold...glad it you (sorry). I'm with FEM, warm weather person. It does snow here on occasion and usually the light stuff, a couple inches. That said, every few years we get an event with several inches -- which shuts down everything. No equipment to handle the extremes for more than major highways.

@Alaskan hope it slows for you. But you're used to it.

I'm having a 50-60* week here. Warmer than normal but lovely. Still, the worst part of our winter time frame is ahead. Hoping our "norm" holds and nothing severe happens.

I'm thrilled to have 80's in January - but worried that Mother Nature will take up some ideas of revenge and we'll get hit with single digits at some point as "payback." My luck she'll wait until I have the garden planted, some delicate shoots peeking through the ground and THEN we'll get hit. Hope not...

Slept well last night. Coffee is great. First cup has been inhaled and about to start the second. That's the one I'll savor slowly! Watching the depressing news... Think I'll turn it off and go outside and hug a goat.

I agree with the comment about the news. Its all horrible.

 

[Mini Horses]

Yeah, pretty bad when best part is the weather -- and they're forcasting a storm blowing in

it was foggy this morning but cleared up and wasn't too windy so i went for a walk (probably the first time in 6 months or more). it was a quick mile walk to the corner and back and all the fields were draining from the snow that had just been melted and rained out. ditches were plenty full of water.

as i'm perched here typing this the rains have started up - i've not looked at the radar or forecast yet to see how much it might be. the sump pump will get another workout!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Yay for a walk! We were windy all day. It wasn't terrible, but my hair wasn't fond of it, lol.

Just in...been working with a doe in labor. Successful kidding. In a kidding pen area for night. Fed, water, check on kids & all that. Boy/girl twins. Thought she would be another week. Now next one may get with it to -- I'll get that set & her moved tomorrow, to be ready.

Was a beautiful day. Sunshine and warmed to low 60s...cooled after dark but still upper 40s. Appreciative! Goats are mostly laying in the field near feeders and hay....wishing I'd toss more pellets.
