Bittersweet Acres Farm

Conditions aren't too bad this morning, but there are definitely some areas that are slick so be careful. Be cognizant over the next week or so of ice sliding from the roof tops. Be mindful where you park and more importantly where you and your horse walk. The covered arena has a lot of ice/snow on it, and as the temps warm there will likely be some afternoons that some large sheets of ice slide off. Please do not walk around the areas that ice would fall from until the roofs are clear.
Stay safe and warm

Much the same this morning, but a bit warmer. Horses are out with lots of hay and all have access to water.
Will hope to finish up the waterer that broke over the weekend later this evening. Needed one more fitting that we didn't have and everyone was closed when we realized we didn't have one. That field has a trough full of water but we plan to get the automatic waterer installed this evening. Roads are much better, but there are some remaining slick spots. Be careful out there.

Overall things are good and the sun is helping. Horses are good. All have plenty of hay and water. One waterer was acting up this morning. Looked like it leaked much of the night but it is repaired (significantly cold playing into the water 7*😬)
Military Pike is still very very slick as are areas on the farm
We scraped last night in hopes of getting some melting today but it is slick nonetheless.
Be careful out there.

All is well at the farm so far. With that said, it is currently raining which brings a significant ice risk. Hopefully it will change back to snow. Road conditions on Military are less than ideal. We will work on cleaning the driveway and areas around barns but it will be later in the morning to avoid the rain making conditions slicker. Horses have plenty of hay and water.
Be safe, stay home as much as possible today.

I will update here throughout the day

Building a fence to nowhere😀…and a pleasant evening for some maintenance
