Anyone riding playing etc. PLEASE POST PHOTOS
Its been AWFUL HERE The Snow than rain and FLASH FREEZE with temps at 0f and high of
6f have been horrid
Thanfully we did NOT loose power but even as of late yesterday all the trees are STILL
full of heavy ice.
Walking is very hard The heavy full size pickup does not break thru.
Its hard for all the animals/ Places I tried to make paths were almost WORSE
with heavy rain making bad ice puddles.
A foot of snow would have been so much better to deal with than the 4 inches then muck rain and ice on top .
For a little while this looked REALLY PRETTY
LASTING INTO SEVERAL DAYS with out melting the bloom is really off the
prettiness of it
Things iced up soooooo bad I had to carry a hammer to try to knock thick ice off
gate latches.
We had sun the last few days but it was so cold it did nothing
.
Yesterday went to about 26f compared to below zero F and then high of 6f it felt so warm
but not enough to do much
Today thank god will go to 40f rain tonite then near 50f tomorrow with heavy heavy rain all day.
This is the longest lasting ICE on the trees I have EVER SEEN.
I hope the bit of warmth the next couple days makes it so that the horses
can break thru a bit
ive tried to sparingly spread a little it of wet shavings to help with traction so they can move about.
It one thing for me to walk on top and the goats but when you see a full size pickup and the horses not breaking thru that's a bit scary.
The roads are still amost solid ice cause its been far too cold for salt to do anyting
I feel very snowbound cabin
fever.
I have a horrible craving for WAFFLES
.
Early Saturday when we got out a few hours before the storm started everything was mobbed
gridlock stores gas station and ugh I forgot my list.
So I forgot waffles sigh.
I hope its not too long before ground clears to do some sort of play.
But right now ill be happy with safely walking !!!!
IM JUST SOOOOOO GLAD
I set up 2 xtra 16 gal heated buckets as reserve to dip into and top off the 16 gal in each of their areas The hydrants would have been hard to use.
I put a bucket over the top but even the blowing of the freezing rain got on the quick
connect for the short hose icing it up totally.
Water was not a worry and they drank LOTS which is good!!!
