team scooter Posted January 16, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 16, 2020 Snowshoeing, cross country skiing, or you can come down and hang out with us and eat ice cream samiches at the vintage snowmo show this weekend.

We tried to find nearby reservations in Landolakes Wi for the Three Bears sled dog races, but decided to go up Valentines weekend instead. https://events.bytepro.net/3Bear2020. The place we stay is also where many of the sled teams stay too. It has trails though the woods and out to the lake. I'll buy the beer there if your dogs agree not to eat my dog...

Razors Edge ★ Posted January 16, 2020 Share #14 Posted January 16, 2020 I'm thinking you come up with an excuse to get your trainer to drop by just as the storm starts to settle in. He'll have no choice but to wait out the storm in your cozy place where you can amaze him with warm tea, tasty vittles, witty conversation, and other activities that will pass the time quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted January 16, 2020 Share #15 Posted January 16, 2020 If you are house bound by the weather, get a steam account and learn how to play some complex strategy game online........no, not the shootumups, those are for anger management. During the heart of the winter I tend to become addicted to Civilization V (the last of the very playable thinking games before they boosted it up to the super graphics like the online phone wars) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoveling, snow blowing, more shoveling, car window scraping, and lots & lots of finger & toe thawing. That stuff should pass the time quickly! Perhaps some ice dam clearing, too? That's always fun as is icicle breaking (with snowballs if possible). I'd suggest sledding or skiing, but you'll be too exhausted for recreational fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have several old baby play pens that have been used for calves and goats. Will we need them for lambs now? All the rest are doing fine with the moms, but this one seemed a bit less able to keep up. With temperatures dropping to -15F, it seemed best to bring her in after 2 days for a little extra nourishment and warmth. It has worked out well. We'll be transferring her to another home in a few days, but for now she is no problem, as we feed her on the same time interval that we check for new lambs. We always have a few bottle lambs, due to multiple births, young ewes, etc. and have sold all to a friend for the last few years. Good luck with your lambing, and I hope the weather and animals cooperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 16, 2020 Share #31 Posted January 16, 2020 We're getting snow Saturday, though forecast for just an inch or two. I bought a bunch of see-through plastic bins and am organizing stuff. I've got more kitchen stuff than I have storage room, so I bought two 6' tall self-assembly wooden cabinets with doors. By the end of the weekend, my kitchen is going to look neat and cleaned. I also have meds in a few different places that are going into one main storage box, plus a shoebox-sized box for my mess of diabetic/blood pressure/docs want me to take it crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petitepedal ★ Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share #36 Posted January 17, 2020 So...I probably will be snowblowing...the Condo's old snowblower is out of commission and we are getting a new one tomorrow...Since the maintenance guy only works til about 11....and the rest of the board : 1 lives elsewhere, 1 is 85, 3 are retired women at least 2 with no earthly idea how to use a snowblower..1 person is in Europe, 1 is from Central America...and a lawyer...I am not sure he could cope...and the last member is the former board pres...he has had a lung transplant and can't do this kinda thing!! That pretty much leaves me...plow folks will do the plow thing but we need to keep the main sidewalk clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
