Good morning all! Coffee is hot and good. I'm relaxing with it.

It's a cold 27 out, with 15mph winds. 😢. That's per news, my temp gauges and visuals. Haven't ventured out. The wet, white stuff is splotchy and not pretty! With temps there are some frozen spots reported on roads but, news reports also say no traffic issues and roads clear on mains. Good.

Now that the storm system is close they are refining the weather reports! It's getting better. 😁. With the movement it seems we will get 2-3" here at farm, not the original 6"+ option of early week. I'm thrilled!! 🤣👍. So it appears it will be cold but overcast most of today, snowing from dusk to dawn. Waaay better than feared.

I have few goals for today because I'm still working on my plans from old forcast -- that is do as little as possible outside, huddle inside. 🙄🤫😁. Still sounds good. I do need to make a loaf of bread. Just ate toast from almost last of other loaf. Love my bread machine. 🤗. Easy and fast. Will try a different recipe today. Why not? An adventure. If it isn't to my liking, the chickens will love it. 😂🙃

Snowing out. @Alaskan you'd feel right at home AND be happy with these smaller amounts. 😁. With that in mind, wish I could send it to you. 🤫 Bitter cold out there for our area. Windy to add to the insult. Cold day and night so, breaking icy water tubs. Will have to tote hot water tomorrow.

News says, "All 23 of the areas plow trucks are working 24/7 in 12 hr shifts", just to keep mains clear and covered with sand, brine, etc, etc. My road sometimes gets attention because it is a connector to two mains...but not always their route. 🤷 It's ok, I'm home for 5 days. 👍 Should be melted by then.

Hey folks, when BYC switches over to 'look but don't touch' for several days we're going to need a coffee stop. I've set up a big tent with coffee pots and hot water supply. It isn't fancy, but it will work for a few days. Always accessible, and milk is in the refrigerator. Throw your trash in the cans, tidy up, and first person here each morning please get things started. Stop in to say, "Good Morning".

Sour your temporary coffee man.
Sounds great! I’ve been a coffee addict….er…. Connoisseur for the majority of the last 50 years but I haven’t heard of BYC! Of recent I began ording exotic specialty green coffee ’beans’ and roasting my own because my favorite coffee roaster moved out of the area. For a while I wouldn’t drink anything but Kopi Luwak from a private little coffee plantation owned by some friends in Indonesia…they are still recovering from the tsunami. I’ll have to do some research and check yours out!

Byc is one of our sister sites! We haven’t seen Sour in quite some time, this has developed into the place where we greet each other in the morning!! So, Good Morning! ❤️

I love how thoroughly you shop for ethically sourced coffee! Very interesting info.

@Mini Horses ... we did not get more than a couple of snowflakes.... but it got down to 6 degrees last night. Don't see any wind out there this morning... it is up to 38 where the sun is shining on the temp recorder on the porch... it will drop a few once the sun moves a bit but looks like the afternoon will warm up around that temp. The sun is out real good. Glad to see it and it will make the air "breatheable" by not being so awful cold.
VDOT works 12 hr shifts here everytime we get "weather"... DS is on the 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. night shift. That gives him time to do feeding in the daylight before going home to sleep. But it is hard on sleeping habits.
