Removing Snow
We're in the middle of THE snowstorm now with nine inches and counting on the ground (2PM EST). We opened the "bird door" on the barn to give our ducks, chickens, turkeys, and goose access to the outdoors, but they thought better of it and are chillin' in the barn.
The cats are going stir crazy in the house, but they, too, want nothing to do with the great out-of-doors.
The "rabbit tent" cannot withstand any snow load, so I must periodically "broom" it off. Thankfully the snow is light, so it's easier to remove than the typical heavy Midwestern snow. It's more work moving and placing the ladder than it is to sweep the snow off the roof. This is the side of the tent that I "reinforced" with the tarp yesterday. The rabbits are all snug inside.
