We got a few inches. My concern is for tonight. It's supposed to warm up to the 40s, then drop down into the 20s. I may not go to evening service if it's not cancelled.

Most of my bantams won't even come out the door. I don't feed inside but had to put feed and water inside yesterday. Poor things do not like all this snow. It's their first time seeing it too. My scovy's even went inside and stayed.


It's so cold it isn't fun to be out in it.

We in the USA have hunting seasons to control the wild animal population. I've noticed that the past couple of years that it always snows a little bit just before it opens then doesn't snow again until after it ends.
I don't hunt myself but I do have family members that hunt but I just wish it would so that way the hunters would be able to have better luck at getting a deer.
Will all of you who has gotten snow please send some my way?

That is very cold for us. According to Wikipedia our averages are: "January and February are the coldest months of the year, and mean daily air temperatures fall between 4 and 7 °C (39.2 and 44.6 °F) during these months. July and August are the warmest, with mean daily temperatures of 14 to 16 °C (57.2 to 60.8 °F), whilst mean daily maximums in July and August vary from 17 to 18 °C (62.6 to 64.4 °F) near the coast, to 19 to 20 °C (66.2 to 68.0 °F) inland."
Sounds like TEXAS weather!

OH wait - I went back and finished reading this.... July and August in the 60's!? SIGN ME UP!! Sounds a zillion times better than Texas weather, lol.

Well, it's either that or stay home from December through February. I thought it was weird when we lived in CT that they shut down the state for storms... NH doesn't shut down unless you work at a school!

First pic is of the walkway outside the front porch. Second pic is of the small pond by the house.
From what I've heard by the time the storm ends on Wed supposed to have close to a foot of snow unless you live in higher regions or in the snow belt.

We're forecasted to get 7-10" by tonight. Coming down pretty good right now. DD's class was canceled, DH is home... Snowed in! I kind of like it!
