The big chill is supposed to be coming here tomorrow. Nothing like Patty's temps but windchills to about 9 degrees by Saturday morning. Actual temps in the 20s. Meanwhile I disconnected all my outside waterhoses and made sure they're empty. Just hoping the faucets don't freeze but made sure they're all in the off position. That's all I can do. No snow in our forecast.

Darlene, do you have shut off valves on the inside of the home where the outdoor faucets are located ? If so close them, and leave the outdoor faucet valve open. If not then just hope for the best.

Landscape company just showed up in a loader to push the snow banks back in the dooryard.

How deep is it? I got 4.25 inches.

I used a broom, as it's dry, light and fluffy, to clear just enough deck to change the bird water and put seeds out. It's up to a whopping 1*F.

We didn't get any new snow yet, they are pushing back the snow all along the edge of the driveway farther into the yard from when we got 2 feet from last weeks storm. This storm we are only supposed to get about 6 inches but then we are getting very heavy rain all day Friday.

So, what keeps you from finding birds frozen in it???

Kyras

It's heated. See the cord? If that's what you meant.

Oh, and that black disc is a solar powered fountain. When the sun hits it water spurts out.

SheDrivesIt

Yep, missed the cord. So it's kind of like a bird spa, eh?

Patty wants her birds well done. it's set to parboil.
