I just realized that it's snowing outside. I've been outside for quite a bit of the morning, but barely noticed. We got about 1/4 inch so far; The only thing it made me think is that the 30 bales of straw that I tossed on a tarp in front of the barn are going to have to be smacked a bit before tossing up into the loft.
And, it was finally warm this morning - almost 32 degrees. The neighbor's have ducks on their pond. They keep a pump running a fountain of water to keep a small section unfrozen. With the extreme cold temps of the last week, it resulted in a completely frozen pond and a mountain of ice. So, this morning was the de-icing the pond party. A lot of well placed tannerite, and a well placed shot from a rifle = BIG boom. No more ice mountain. Scared the shit out of the goats.
