After the Snow Stopped

Well, after the snow stopped on Saturday, I spent the majority of the afternoon scooping and doing chores.  Because they do like their food.

hard to see the paths, but they are there

And in crazy good news, the Love Shack was warm enough that when I collected the one egg from the girls, it wasn’t even frozen!

I thought about waiting until the next day to do the scooping, but Saturday, with its high of about 9°F, was going to be warmer than Sunday.

We had sunshine by the end of the day.

Don’t get me wrong, there was plenty of sunshine, but we started the day on Sunday at -11°F.

It was frigid.  Popcorn was the only one brave foolish enough to stand outside and try to catch some warmth from the sun.

And the craziest part is that we did a very slow warmup, only reaching above zero temperatures around noon.  But the overnight is supposed to see continued rising temperatures.  And all this week is supposed to be back to more seasonal or above temperatures.  Hello, snow melt.
