Various ice formations on wheels caused by driving through the snow.

Out at 11 to keep the water trough from slushing up. This time I took Pity on Rosalie and put her coat on. K bought it in the fall, and I don't think she has ever worn it before. She was not thrilled.

She said, "I - can just stay on the porch? Right?"

As a matter of fact, no, Rosalie, you cannot.

I can't even.

She did eventually get the hang of moving in it, but continued jumping into the air and shaking vigorously, trying to get rid of it.

Meanwhile, Hero and the gang are just hanging out by the haybale. Enduring stoically.

The part where I had to climb the damned apple tree, in my winter layers and boots, to force the idiot chickens to go in their coop does not bear talking about. There was hostile language on both sides.

Hey Southern Friends

Y'all are about to get a shit ton of snow, ice, and feezing temperatures, so as someone from the North, I have some advice

If temperatures drop below 25° F, you may want to leave your sinks trickling or dripping over night to avoid the pipes freezing

‼️Keep cat litter in your car if you have to drive. If you get stuck in the snow, you can pour the cat litter under your tires to give them traction

If your hands are stiff and freezing, don't immediately put them in front of a heater or under hot water, you can burst your blood vessels doing that, because they'll try to expand too quickly. You want to slowly thaw them out until you get feeling back in them and can move them properly again

Don't lick your lips when they get dry, you'll make it worse due to the cold and dry air, just wait until you get inside somewhere and use lip balm

Cold air will come through your windows and the cracks in your doors (if you live in an old house), seal them up best you can. My family puts a sort of cling film over the windows to keep the cold air out and the warm air in

If you have a basement (in an old house), cold air will come from there, too. We have a trapdoor in our pantry and it gets COLD

‼️It's a good idea to keep extra blankets or jackets in your car, because if you do end up sliding off the road, it might take some time for someone to reach you

Share this around so more people see it

Any other northerners who have more advice, feel free to share in the comments or in reblogs

Be safe and take care
