I guess if you're still online, the storm has turned out to be a dud!
Hello CH
Yes I am online.
Chill and nasty slippery here even the goats are sliding around.
Main Power is still on "So Far"
Storm is not a "DUD" for these southerners.
I have faced lots worse having grown up and spent most of my life in Wisconsin and Upstate New York Winters.
Also I am a Prepper so I can live comfortably without having to go to town for a couple months at a time if needed. Actually the Pack Goats are part of my Bug Out Plan.
As to being online I have portable systems that I can even pack with me on the goats to stay online if needed.
I gave the goat boys some extra busted up hay cubes and beet pulp for roughage because they were not out browsing at all today. Gate was open all day they stuck their noses out a couple times when I was out but did not attack me like normal. Looked at me like" Your a fool to be out in this weather" we are staying in the shed.
The boys also got their heated water bucket put in today.
It settles down here and some of the Ice melts, Pete doesn't know it yet but I have a sled here that he might just get "Introduced" to. Will try to get pictures.
As for Base Camp 1 (BC1) here we can go fully off line here for quite a while. Yet still keep a Internet Link on.
Happy Trails
