The weather has kept me busy lately. One day last week I helped hubby load firewood , we're going through a lot of wood this winter. Friday I spent the day mulching the garlic again , the chickens had scratched the leaves away and the wind took care of the rest. Since the weatherman was calling for snow on Saturday and Monday , I decided I needed to give it a little protection.
The snow that was expected this past Saturday didn't amount to anything. We had a burst of snowflakes that didn't last long , so no accumulation. Yesterday it started snowing , we had a ground cover right away. But it stopped after awhile only to start again late yesterday afternoon. The guineas roosted outside again last night , although the weatherman was calling for sleet and freezing rain overnight.
We awoke to treacherous conditions this morning , snow on the ground , covered with a layer of sleet and ice from the freezing rain. The grass was coated with ice , sounded like you're walking on potato chips (LOL).
The sidewalk was ice covered , walking on ice isn't my idea of fun. I don't mind the snow , but all this ice is a different story. I'm ready for Spring , how about you ?

I don't like ice either. I must say, after last winter, this one has been a piece of cake so far. I'm grateful this is only our second big storm.

Blessins',Lib
I love winter so I am in no big hurry for spring...
We got about 1 1/2 inches of snow last night into today but it really isn't a big deal in my part of the world...I think tomorrow will bring us another inch or so and the some this weekend too. That is when we will fall into a deep freeze for a bit. I don't mind as long as I have everything I need, so tomorrow I will stock up for the week ahead and be content.
I loved your sharing about it sounding like you were walking on potato chips, lol. Very good way to describe it!
I don't like walking on ice either!!! Too old for that stuff!
You take care and be careful...
Love and Blessings!
Watch that ice, you don't want to go falling now. I don't like ice either but in my part of the world we get it like it or not. My daughter got me a pair of ice grips for my sneakers for christmas. I walk twice a day so I have to watch my step. Forecast for us tomorrow is for another Nor'Easter - snow, snow, snow and winds. Not a good combination at all.

Don't like the ice - don't mind the snow.
Stay safe. Stay warm. Spring isn't far off! :0)
Oooo be careful on that ice. We had a big snowstorms of 5-7 inches on Tuesday night and it began to rain at about 1 a.m. and all the snow was almost all melted the next morning - we got to skip the ice part.
