We got up to snow, sleet and ice. Thank cleared off after a few hours and did some melting but now everything is frozen hard as a rock and it is a real adventure even going up to the chicken coop. 
 
Dave had to fill the coop grain barrels this morning and took the 50 pounds bags up on a plastic sled.  Took him a couple of trips.
 
He put in for a day off for today and worked on our taxes, he has to take a day off here and there or he loses those vacation days.  He is in town tonight for meetings.
 
I have just been knitting socks this week.
