The snow storm has passed, and most places here got about 9-10 inches of snow. The worst part for us, is that the frigid temperatures now return with a deep freeze. They are still talking about temps dipping to -25°F after all this snow dumped. The cold temperatures are said to be with us for the next week.
First issue was to find someone to plow us out. Second was to shovel a path to the coop, and finally order more pre-paid propane (bad timing) for delivery.
More snow is on the way.
Plowing was accomplished, and very thankful for that. The trash bin will need shoveled out before trash day, but all is well in our neck of the woods.
Deep cleaning is being done, but I ran out of one cleaner I make (does well on any grease on the stove vents etc). I will need to restock my distilled water (we have well water). Exciting winter news right? Ha!
You know those small vents on the oven door that are inconveniently behind the stove handle? Thank goodness for saving old toothbrushes to assist in the job. The vents are all cleaned and looking spiffy. I often wonder why the handles, and on all appliances, are made with those annoying tiny groves that constantly need scrubbed clean.
Those who own an electric (coil burner) stove, and can over summer will understand. I let my burned on ring around the burners go until winter (thank you big canning pot), when I can tackle the scrubbing action needed. All is clean again, and looking spiffy as well.
On to more interesting news...maybe.
