Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

LOL, at least I can just walk out and feed my horses........now as long as they stay in the fence, I'll be fine!
I remember several years ago, gosh, must have been 95 or 96(?) when we got snow like this, but it came in several layers with ice in between.....it got so high and hard packed that the horses discovered a spot where they could walk out right over the fence. I spent half a day pounding electric fence posts into the ice and snow, and stringing up electric fence to keep them in a smaller area until spring thaw. It was just too much and too hard to clean with the tractor, and there were trees in the way. Anyhoo......got it all done and strung up, herded them into the fence, and then went in to turn it on (yes, I should have electrified it BEFORE locking them in, I know this now).....my one little mare was one of those who knew immediately that it wasn't powered.....and she charged right through it and unstrung it all, fence and posts flying.....
I was mostly concerned that she hadn't hurt herself getting wound up in all that wire, but I will admit that once I knew she was OK, I did a LOT of cussing putting the fence back together, lol. I'm very glad that we have a much better pasture fence system set up here now....and can clean the snow away from the fences.
Yesterday we had a couple of friends show up with their plows on their trucks and help us finish getting cleaned out, unfortunately, they had been out cleaning driveways all day, and had a few beers while doing it. They both ended up stuck, one blew a heater hose, and we had to call a neighbor with a skid loader to get them out, lol. At least we can get out of our driveway now though.....

Well last night and this morning were interesting. Was driving home from a short trip, in the area I live the wind had been going all day and every place the road wasnt protected from the fields the blowing snow was all across the road. There were 3 accidents within 10 miles of my house and this morning a pickup had rolled over after hitting one of these icy patches just out of town.
Supposed to have a low of -5 tonight. The wind is blowing between 10-15 mph not fun. Thinking I might just stay put.

Yikes.....time to hibernate!! At least our temps have been bearable lately, though we're dealing with the snow blowing constantly now too. Just be careful if you gotta go out there!

Ok, yesterdays weather was really weird, I can't remember when I have seen anything like it.
Started out normal pretty overcast with some snow flurries falling. Was working in the arena on the water system and stepped out. There was this blue stuff in the sky all over and this bright orange thing. At first I thought aliens but it slowly moved across the sky. I won't say it got real warm but had to take my winter coat off and just use a sweat shirt.
Anyone know what that was?

You mean......you were OTUSIDE without 3 layers of protection, and didn't get frostbite????
Wow, that really IS strange!
If that orange thing was big and slow-moving, it COULD have been the mother ship searching for signs of intelligent life.....if it keeps coming back, you'll know it didn't find any yet.

Well who said anything about not having three layers. I have t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, sweat shirt, XL hoodie, then may winter coat. If I am lucky I stay warm.
And that orange thing was back for a little bit today, but disappeared behind the clouds again. And if its looking for intelligent life on the farm it better just skip on to the next solar system!!! 
Good news is they say 40 degrees tomorrow and as high as 50 mid next week. I will be looking for my shorts and sandals.

They say we're supposed to warm up like that next week too, but I'll believe it when I see it, lol.
We're all getting spring fever here, and all of this snow is driving us all stir crazy. Just look what it's doing to my son......
