No snow, yet, at 35F. Spent a couple hours with Kevin (aka Chicken) this afternoon finishing up the last bit of weatherproofing for the rabbits. The pens have been very securely wrapped in tarps, I've an extra two in the shed should we need more. I've always saved the binding cords on the hay bales and I'm so glad they did as they made excellent tie downs for the tarps. All solo bunnies have been brought into the shed, tucked away in insulated crates. I'm leaving the Bunhalla bunnies where they are for tonight, given that at this point in the expected temperature drop, it's more stressful to move them then leave them with several dogloo's and doghouses filled with nesting hay in their own pen.
I've gone ahead and filled an entire set of replacement water bottles for the bunnies and a few gallon containers over the last few days even as we've been assured our community water will continue to be pumped even should we lose electricity. Current temperature schedules state we will hit freezing temps at 10pm, continuing down every hour until we hit the coldest at 26F at 7pm. I'll be heading out every few hours to replace out thawed water bottles, should that become a problem, and clear snow off the tarps. Brrr! Morning temps expected just under freezing, we'll have to see what's what in the morning. Too much ice or no power downtown mean I get to stay home tomorrow and fret about the bunnies some more.
See ya on the flip side!
