We are surrounded by snow but nothing here. Staying above the freezing point and just some rain...

They're calling for up to a foot of snow today. Its snowing now. And cold. Not much wind yet.
It'll be 3 (F) for tomorrow's high. Ice might be thick enough by the end of the weekend that I can get out and fish on it, a pretty rare thing for this latitude.
...but rare weather keeps getting more common around these parts...

My wife and I got wood. The wood shed is about 40 feet from the house. One wheel barrel heats the house for 2 days. About 4 big armloads. It was a little above 0 F. The snow is like baking soda and squeaks under your feet. The wind blew about 40 mph. A gust blew snow off the shed and down into my coat around my neck. Not fun I thought. Then I thought about the folks that lived right here a few thousand years ago.
She "Honey I just had another baby. I'll go wash him off in the snow."
He "Is that number 6, or 7?"
She" That 8 but only 2 are alive now."
He " I'll take this stick with a sharp rock tied to it and go cut down a tree and drag it back for firewood."
She " Can you pick up some groceries on your way home?"
He "Sure if I see a critter and it doesn't eat me first. If I make it home I'll spend a relaxing afternoon
Making arrowheads and spearpoints.
We talk about surviving. And getting ready for shtf. Can you imagine hard was for them? I drove to town in a heated car on slick roads. Even in this tiny town I was amazed how much stuff was on the shelves in the grocery store and how little work it was for me to get them. When I got home I spent a relaxing afternoon reloading. Those people back then were tough! Can you imagine living without cars, electricity, cell phones.
food from the store, or birth control? I hope we don't find out, but we may. Solution, Prep More.

the thin layer of snow we had yesterday has gone but today is very cold with a high wind, it was whistling around the house all last night, could have been worse if the house wasnt so sheltered.

Maybe AlGore was right. It could get up to 20 degs today. Thats warm for this time of year. Only got a few inches of snow last night but with the wind some of the icesicles on the house are pointing sideways now.

Thats just what I'm doing now; breaking ice in the water tanks. The only difference is our snow is half-way up to the cows back.
Hang in there and be VERY careful dude. We are at minus 11° C at the moment and have to add water to the pigpen trough every few hours after it freezes before they can even get the couple of gallons drunk. Threw an apple out under the trees for a few of the birds to eat since they can't find much lately and it froze in a hour.

Its still snowing hard. Got the big snow blower out to clear the 4 foot drifts in the road. Its clears a 6 foot path and is attached to the track equipped side by side (UTV).
They're calling for another foot of snow tonight and snow every day for the next 2 weeks.
