For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #CollectingFood here is a Spruce Grouse eating snow on a -35c day in Algonquin Provincial Park. Spruce grouse do not primarily eat snow for sustenance, but they rely heavily on it for winter survival. #Ontario #Canada #birds #birding #nature #winter #birdphotography

As Winter comes back to #Saskatchewan today, one wonders which #Winter character are you?
Das war BEVOR der Hund mit dem Hintern im Eis einbrach und BEVOR er den dicken fetten Faschingspfannekuchen (mit Gesicht!) klaute und verspeiste.
So ein Tag ist das heute! 🤡

Hmm, I don't think that will do anything. The chain just disappears between the agri tyre profile and won't even touch the ground 😆
Another option are screw-in studs, which supposedly work well with thick rubber profiles like this. But only on ice, they'll do nothing on mud or loose snow. Hmm.
Another stupid(?) idea is to weld some scrap metal together and bolt it to those 8 holes in the rim, with steel protruding outside past the tyre profile. Basically like this ancient farmall tractor.

Schleswiger Winterimpressionen
Nach den ungezählten trüben Wintertagen verzauberte heute die Wintersonne den Norden.
Tja, Leute, was soll ich sagen: Meine Freundinnen posten alle Badefotos von Fuerte Ventura, Cran Canaria und Dubai. Ich stecke an der winterlichen Ostsee und ich liebe es einfach.

1/3 all done.
two young apple trees (planted June/July 2024).
The columnar Blushing Delight beside the house didn't need much. Just a few crossing branches.
The Northern Spy is a little more wild and I want it as tall as possible for shade and walking room. I took away one major leader on the north side. Next year Ill decide if I want to take it down to one leader.

This is the time of year that is hardest for me. Cold weather and fairly deep snow cover prevent outdoor gardening of any sort, and I sit here looking at all my seed packets and, in spite of all the postings about getting seeds started, I am resisting the urge to start anything yet here. Just. Too. Early. Must wait a few more weeks...

⛄ enormous farm santa and his red truck still saying "hey!" as I drive by
⛄ powdery powdery snow - an actual pleasure to brush off your car
⛄ We hit 36°F today
Really over estimated the weather today. 0c sure but not the winter thaw I had hoped for. There was still a wind chill that made it feel like -10c... ugh
I just want to spend an hour outside, enjoy a coffee and cigar and mellow out for a bit.
Weather this season has been so oppressive 😩

Feel free to vote your conscience, but for me the clear winner is "Snow be-gone Kenobi" from Mr. LaRue's ALLP Class.
❄️🐦 Ever wonder how a tiny bird survives a freezing night? They're using advanced #biology!
From "fluffing" their feathers to creating a personal heat cocoon to using a specialized internal heat exchange system in their feet, #birds have the #winter covered.

A long way from home: Birdwatchers flock to Montréal for rare sighting of ‘vagrant’ bird that has made its home during a bitterly cold winter
23 straight days with below 0c temperatures finally comes to an end tomorrow as we get up to 1c!
I don't know what to do with myself!
Gotta start by finding my smallest swim shorts and lay out on my snow covered lawn. Give the neighbours an eyeful! HAW!
Summer is here!
A good friend made me aware of how the global weather is influencing his way of live. He has to endure temperatures of -40C (!!!) in his area of the planet Terra

Here's this week's data for Project Feeder Watch week number 15. Severe winter weather continues with VERY cold temps, high winds and lots of snow cover. We had 19 species and 116 individuals this week. Favorite sighting of the week was a very scruffy-looking Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker that stopped by several times. As always the Carolina Wrens continue to amaze me that they can survive this climate and still look feisty!

How one NYC renter is making thousands with a borrowed shovel in the US's polar blast
My #silentsunday.. I only had a chat with two guys at the summit and one guy a bit below.
Besides that... 4-5h silence. If we don't count the minutes I was following the activities of a woodpecker a couple of meters away from me 😊
It took me really efforts to get out. But - as usual - it was worth it.
I’ve been loving all the photos for #MagicInTheMundane and would love to join in! Here’s my first offering. (I’ll post the original photo in the comments.)

Currently 3°F in #RochesterNY with a wind chill of about -20°F. Light lake effect snow, not more than an inch or two accumulation, but blowing and drifting. The zoo where I work has closed for the day due to the cold, so I've got the day off. I'm hunkering down for a quiet afternoon, with a warm blanket and relaxing music and a library book and some hot coffee, listening to the wind whistling around the house.

Stupid winter.
Note to self: Just because the air temperature reads only -9 doesn't mean all the stuff out in the barn isn't still supercooled
Got the tractor running with the diesel heater blowing hot air on the oil filter for half an hour. Went out to fetch some wood and it died. Diesel-gel blocking the filter. Despite maximum dose of anti-gel additive in the tank. Should've heated the tank as well 🤦♂️
Old sailor trick when your tank is full of crud, pull the hose off the filter and stick it into a bottle of good fuel.
Got my wood but probably should've just stayed home instead. 😩

Today we managed to pass a leaking old beaver dam that is now frozen to the ground.
Snowshoe-packed a trail further into the bush. Yodelled and the old chickadees found us (the families seem to have their territories). How did we know it was them?
They landed on us immediately 😂. And talked!
Happy to see they have survived another year.

Na, wer rechnet dann mit #Schnee, Glätte und #Eis im #winter ? Wir nicht.
Das haben uns unsere Controller und BWL-Absolventen gesagt. Es schmälert den Gewinn, wenn für extremste #Wetter|ereignisse ausreichend vorgesorgt wird. Und, das haben sie auch gesagt, wenn wir über Jahre hinweg so tun, als ob das einfach nur ausgehalten werden muss, setzt sich das in Köpfen der Kunden fest. Eine gute PR unterstützt das Framing.
Klappt doch ganz gut!

Yesterday, we had, apparently, the last full moon of meteorological winter, which is sometimes called the Snow Moon. I saw it whilst working in our orchard. Astrologists are saying it predicts a time of "profound change" - so what else is new (lol)?
Pretty cold. Discoveries I made this morning:
EVA rubber boots are no longer flexible and difficult to wear until your feet warm them up.
LCD displays stop working.
The fancy microcontroller thermometer had an integer overflow and showed +64°C when it was... I guess -31 or 32? 😆
The -25°C winter wiper fluid is now solid, but it shouldn't damage the cars as it has contracted rather than expanded like water does.
The barn cat is still alive and got warm water and leftover porridge.
LRT reports -34°C in nearby Ukmergė and that diesel engines can't run on jelly. Apparently LPG vehicles had problems too, not enough Propane in the mix: https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2825089/lithuania-records-lowest-temperatures-in-30-years-cold-disrupts-public-transport
