Happy New Year! - 01/01/22 04:08 PM
Here's wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy new year. 8" of snow on the ground so far and still coming down lightly. First significant snowstorm we've had this winter. 20F this morning. Really high winds have stopped now which is good. I did manual shoveling this morning to clear some pathways. Also cleared the bird area. We've had about 40 wild turkeys coming by daily in the morning and afternoon for a free meal. Wind and snow don't seem to bother them. They like cracked corn, chicken scratch and dark oil seeds. They also eat dead mice in one gulp. Which they get when we pull them out of the Victor traps.
Hoping snow stops in the next couple of hours at which time the tractor comes out for plowing. The snow is very light and low in moisture. But there is a lot of it! Cold snap on the way to single digits, then warming back up to above freezing. Avalanche danger is extreme high right now.
Jeannie and I did nothing special last night other than watch media products. Hard to believe another year is shot. I'm in the salt mine working on some training videos waiting for the snow to stop. What say you?
Wild turkeys like a free meal. It's been several years since we've see a flock of these birds. Front yard heading west on 12/11/2021.
