I just went out and knocked the snow off the chicken's sunroof, cleared a bit of snow in the run, knocked the snow off the greenhouse, shoveled the deck, and snow blowed the combing the plow left at the end of our driveway openings (before it froze solid). Good timing, cause it had just stopped snowing and was turning to sleet/rain. Came in to rest... it's snowing again. Winter is not my favorite season. It's spring already... Listen up! It's SPRING ALREADY!!! ENOUGH!!!

We just had a quick, but heavy, hail shower. The stones are tiny though. The biggest ones only about 1/2 the size of a pea.

Plenty space for you guys over here ;) Our heaviest snowfall in 30 years didn't match an average by you guys. Mid teens Celsius in winter is not uncommon. Just saying...

But I couldn't bring my animals overseas :( DH likes the winter. He's strange. I'm done.

Yep :) and it's eastern TN which is nice and not as hot. It's in the 70's there all week (I just looked lol), as opposed to 40s and 50s here. I'm trying! They're zone 7a (I'm 4b/5a, closer to 4b at my house due to elevation)...
