Well now, at 5:00 AM there was no snow and nothing on the ground. Around 5:30 it started and this was taken at 7:00.
The chicken yard at about 7:15 and by the time I got boots, and gloves on the netting over the garden run was down.
I had to go out and tear down what was left of the netting, as it had almost collapsed to the ground with the weight of the snow. Then I tried to shovel a path to the heated water bowl and put out a new Flock Block to try and lure the gang out...no dice.
This is all just the beginning. We are now being told that blizzard conditions, with gusts to 60 mph. will be coming also, along with more snow and arctic temps. *
I will be updating for family down in Portland and for all of you who are interested.

I am concerned about Daisy and the chickens...hope they will come out...I must figure out what to do to give them extra shelter for when the blizzardy stuff starts..Oh, and I have to rig up the heat lamp in the coop....All this and Mr. B. is working long hours, so no help there.
