Coffee anyone ?

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.

Kinda scary how it is targeting the real south... that jet stream has a real dip. I read where there were some highways shut down in Oregon???? Montana getting brutal cold. Sorry that you are missing the snows that you normally get and need for moisture ....

Things sure are upside down.

Coffee is on. Up early cheking bunnies, no babies yet. Tomorrow this time temps will be 0ish... 10 right now and no wind. Another inch of snow. The heavy band coming this afternoon or evening think.

WET everywhere...no rain at moment, arriving later. At least we have been just above freeze. Just nasty everywhere. TX cold is scary but up near Great Lakes a minus 40

This morning I have a novel problem...a deer didn't get over a fence and now hung up by back leg or legs.. No doubt one is broken, can't be otherwise. Going out to see what I can/need to do. I suspect a gun will be a part of the most humane release. Need a hunter to harvest. Sad situation. DD advised as she came up the path going to work. I've checked with binocs. Wow. Yes, it's a work day for me, too.

9"!! That is the amount of snow currently on the ground with more on the way! Texas weather is sure full of surprises.

Thanks for the coffee PA. It is needed this morning! We had the last two pieces of store bought frozen cherry pie. Looks like 6-8” of snow out there. Haven’t been outside yet. Power is still on, thank the dear Lord for that. It’s 7 degrees with a low of ONE degree tonight.

Oh @Mini Horses .... we have had to dispatch a few over the years that have gotten hung up by a leg. Sad situation. But yeah, best thing is to just shoot it or call sherrif's office if you don't feel up to it. They usually will shoot it and then take the carcass off... Or call the hay neighbor.... maybe they want some venison? Unfortunately the adrenaline from being hung up will make the meat a bit gamey .....
@Baymule , get them fed and get the water open and once they get a good drink, they can and WILL eat snow if they need to. Our cattle do all the time...... it won't hurt them to rustle their own a little bit. It won't kill them, it won't hurt them, if you don't provide them with a banquet and free drink bar.... a place to get in out of the snow, hay and a good drink once a day and they will survive. HONEST.

My mom texted from Texas... Houston.. she got snow.

She said she is too cold to go out to take photos.

And yes, she has a good house with electric.

 

[Bruce]

But does she still have electricity??? Almost 3.5 MILLION people in TX without power!!!!

We are now expecting 7"+ overnight, I'll be getting up with DW at 5 to go move snow so she can slog to work.
