@fuzzi I'm good on this....I always buy iodine free salt, own chickens for eggs, goats for dairy, rarely eat out or use processed foods. And, no fluoride in toothpaste, have well water, raise 98% of own veggies. I'm a firm believer that so many health issues of today are the result of foods -- processed, additives, GMO contrived & chemicals used to spray or fertilize. Everyone has their opinion, that's mine.
This morning sunshine but cold 22 to start. There's now a huge layer of ice on the leftover snow, compliments of thawing yesterday & freezing last night. Every step is a challenge. Fed, broke ice on tubs, took care of bottle babes (2 now) and came in to thaw hands & feet. I'll carry out some hot water in a short time. Hoping this crap will finish melting, with early sun & all being strong day long
Home all week but roads are clear pretty much. Wasn't near as bad as 50 mile north where they got double my snow. I don't need to go out but, Tues I'll call to see if the trailer load of Alf/orch arrived.
They are closed Sun/Mon.

Had another 4 inches of snow fall last night. Between snow coming and snow going it's packing down pretty good to the point you don't know how deep it is till you go looking. Got looking kicking a hole to the ground, yep we are little over foot deep.
Spent the day yesterday unfreezing schit, yes literally schit. You wouldn't believe how much pressure can build up in a 3 inch sewage pipe at about 43' of pipe. Twenty feet of pipe is exposed to elements and it froze solid towards the end, started dumping hot water to unfreeze it and no luck.
Took clean out cap off and started punching with hammer and rebar. Yep punched on through, all 43' feet full of sewage/water I poured in came shooting out, projectile schit launching up to 20' all over the outside wall of the pole barn too.
Four pounds of salt and 6 gallons of water later all was resolved with pipe insulated this time. Only reason this happened was a below zero NE wind which is very very rare. Last year it didn't freeze despite going down to -40°F
Noticed when we get a NE wind as such everyone is having a problem of sorts out here.

Late yesterday it got to low 40s, so took my carefully drained hose and refilled water tubs! Those extra tubs sure are handy with 24 hr freeze temps. And heated ones keep them drinking well.
Up at 4:30, so getting ready for daylight to come. 2 bottles filled and just set into the hot water to warm. Morning, mid afternoon & before bed -- just 2 more weeks, then 2x day. Whew.
Supposed to be 51 today. That's our normal aver for now but, only for today. Cold returning. So will do as much outside needs/preps as possible. Check on things in general. Enjoy the "heat wave"

39 this morning going to 63 clear and sunny possible beginning of yet another Santa Ana.
I ~think and hope that I've just about kicked this cold/flu bug. I hate that kind of down time.

I like that he is not a fear monger. Just “don’t be afraid, just be prepared “. “Don’t fall for the models”.

It's deep enough "back here" to crank the loader up to push snow off the road. You can visually see it in snow depth from my house to the trash down below the drop in elevation. Soon as within 100 feet you get past the last white trash down there it gets deep in snow.
Would need about 2 feet in snow to cripple them from getting around. Soon as you hit the main road within a 1000 feet it's as if it just dusted down there to only a inch at most of snow on the road. Drive another 10 miles and it's another world of shallow snow, but high winds causing major drifts across the road that incapacitates even the grader plowing sometimes.
Get to town and people think you are full of schit trying to describe any snow.
