NWS has us over 7” of snow forecast now, go 50 miles south and it’s 10”, and the track keeps shifting north. Friday night / Saturday morning look roughest: Snow, gusty winds, and 6 deg. F. That’s about 20 deg. below average for us, for a low, then Monday and Tuesday mornings we drop a bit lower, but w/ light winds. Taking care of the chickens is not gonna be fun\, and our old cat (discussion in my post 374, above) is going to be a real pain.

They raised us up from 3 to 6 inches and temp Fri night/Sat morning low from 1 to 3 degrees. I’ve had to put a battery charger on prior vehicles for single digit temps. I would put it on an hour before I had to leave so it would be a nice hot battery, 13+ volts. Seemed to work better than hooking it up the night before because then it would charge but drop down to maintain mode and be the standard 12.7 full charge.
