Finally a break. Warmed up to -16 and a little snow. Supposed to plunge to -30 tonight and then balance out to -20 ish for the next few days.
The funny farm survived the cold. Poor Bart the barred rock rooster got a bad case of frost bite on his comb. The other 3 roosters are pretty much untouched. Even insulated and heated a duck egg laid on the floor freezes in minutes. The dogs are happy for the raw eggs on their food.
The roads were still crazy icy but we made it home.
Rich and Sandi sit down for a looooong podcast with the folks from Panoramic. You can find out more about the guys at https://www.panoramicoutdoors.com/
Is it any wonder that a 27 pound cat can walk on top of 3 feet of powder snow? The first picture is the bottom of a lynx paw. I'm always amazed that the pads show in their tracks at all with all that fur. The second picture shows my hand (that is a 2xl glove on it) in between the front paws of a good lynx. The left paw is the top and the right paw shows the bottom.
