Similar to @Mini Horses here, but we have more ice/mist than rain. Hovering in the 34-36-38 range..... lots of FOG... icy at new house, more wet at rental.
Have seen several broken branches, limbs....ice on everything here at new house, coated and pretty but very treacherous to walk.
DS is using the 4wd tractor to get around and feed... truck will get stuck as it is so saturated and the snow is keeping the ground from freezing so just mud underneath now.

Yesterday we got the wood split and brought in and rabbit cages cleaned. That left a hay trip for this afternoon, it was 10° and windy 🥶 (-5 windchill ) . I have enough hay until Wednesday but more snow is predicted, tonight through Tuesday 6 to 10 inches more.... ugh we normally do not have snow like this... it complicates everything. Got the hay, we'll move it to the shed tomorrow, hopefully. My face hurts. 4 does are nesting. Due tomorrow.

They haven't made up their mind for us yet, but whatever the weather guys are seeing in their crystal balls 🔮 seems to be in flux down here and it keeps changing.
The alerts we go up here said weather warning up here and south but not including southern NH so I ASSUME it is running NW of you.

It started snowing before dark and is still snowing. For the first time ever ALL 254 Texas Counties are under a storm warning. Even deep south Texas where it is semi-tropical, in Brownsville it is currently 32* with a low of 27* and freezing rain. It is 14* here now with a low of 9* tonight. It sleeted all day, now snowing, roads are bad.

I can't wait to wake up in the morning and fight the elements to take care of all the animals. Supposed to be a high in the 50's Saturday, it can't get here fast enough.

Gee, I hate to brag about my weather... we got snow today, about .001 of an inch, maybe. It is slowly warming, supposed to get up to 27 tomorrow.
Wind has slowed way down so I did chores in a hoody and didn't freeze solid.

I'm genuinely sorry so many of you are getting slammed. Not good for safety or agriculture in places where spring growing should be going on.
It seems like all the good storms are going around us here. Even Seattle got buried in snow.
I don't want miserable weather, but we are way behind in the snow levels that recharge the lakes and aquifer.

Sorry you southern southerners are seeing this. It will hurt the crops and all I am sure. Not sure what the normal growing seasons/time frame is.... but the more tropical type trees and all will be severely stressed or damaged.
Icy misty foggy rainy..... ice on car, just started it to get the windshield melted off so I can go to the other house. More for Mon/Tues and again Wed/Thurs.... then maybe in the 40's by the weekend.
