The Iceman Cometh

[FarmerChick]

We have ice/snow mix junk coming friday night and into saturday.
I think we will end up cancelling farmer market day if it is icy.

I just like to get all laundry and dishes etc. done before "any possible" storm.

Have all my preps ready. Got heat, got food, got water, got all water troughs filled for animals etc. etc.

I am prepped and ready to go.....now watch it not do anything..haha (which would be fine)

but yes this storm is big and is going to cause problems for a bunch! Those ready will wait out the storm the easiest....I am ready!

Ok, maybe it's too early and I didn't sleep enough, but pit-bull-guarded sausages have me snickering like a fool...

The dog will protect you to the bitter end - It's a scorpion story with a better ending.

hey let us know what you get tonight and tomorrow morning......we aren't due to hit til late Fri or so. should be interesting. so many trees shaky from the drought and very very wet ground. any heavy ice will take a big toll on trees coming down this time. ugh

no--don't be sending it OK...tell it to move anyway but my way..HAHA

A few pictures from last years ice storm:

the backyard was crispy

the chicken run

the chickens didn't seem to mind the ice

I had the camera in hand when this one decided to break

Ice ice twig baby

the truck got hit by frozen branches, and was crushed a few months later by dead fall 18" diameter 2 ton chunks

That big red would eat the food off of Diesel's muzzle (he loved it) and then sneak in the dog door and sit at my feet while at the computer.
