30. You are welcome to all my ice

Wed Feb 3, 2021, 01:42 PM

Feb 2021

Up here in north central WA about 20 miles from the border we have had the worst ice I've ever experienced in over 40 years for more four weeks. It's been rock hard, glaze ice. nothing has left a mark on it

No one has gone anywhere without chains, crampons, carbide spikes, or some form of traction device on our driveways, paths, and paddocks. Dogs have become terrified of the stuff, pigs have been skating and the sheep stay within 10 feet of their feeders.

The only ice I want to see for the next 9 months will be in my drinks!!
