The Snow doesn't bother me, it's the mix with ice! šŸ„¶
Can't afford to fall down right now!
Haven't been out yet, gave ponies extra hay yesterday to buy some time, temperature at 29 degrees F, which means that they can access water, just a skin on ice on the new 30 gallon tank.
I will Probably prep the stalls this morning, then brave the snow at about 4PM and put them in their stalls, which will probably be until Monday, since DD's are going out of town this weekend.
I have enough bedding to see me through the rest of this winter, but if I fall short, I can pick up a few bags of shavings or pine pellets with my car, which is convenient.
UNfortunately, we sit on a historic slip of ice storm real estate, MUCH worse than several feet of snow, IMHO.

It was -2f (-19ā°C) and 17ā°f (-8C) in the unheated greenhouse, after a sunny day, yesterday.

Onion seed in the soil mix in there but it was covered and on the floor.

The sub-zero F finally arrived here and I am not disappointed that, at the moment, it's not expected to be any colder. A record was way beyond reach but the thermometer dipped nearly a dozen degrees F below the average low. Lowest temperatures are officially experienced 6 weeks earlier than this, on average.
