bouldercroft Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I love the Boston Globe's new snow measuring graphic... Not content with measuring snow in inches - we're now measuring it basketball players click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not sure we'd need someone that tall . Ronnie Corbett would probably do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 We use double decker buses to measure everything over here it seems! Basketball player measure is much more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 can you guess what it is?? That is amazing bet they are snug in their very own igloo. Bet you don't wear pyjamas and wellies on the morning run like we do over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouldercroft Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm flying into Boston in a fortnight's time and driving across the state to Albany, NY.... if i have to drive in that the weather warms up a few degrees in February - but we could still get some (even more) snow... let me know if you need hotel/restaurant recommendations in Boston - its a great city!

Mr Rhode Island Red Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Best wishes to all caught in the cold (well... probably freezingly sub zero) conditions. And I thought Ireland and the UK got hit bad by the cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouldercroft Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 and another possible 20inches of snow forecasted on Tuesday/Wednesday did I mention that I'm supposed to be flying to the Caribbean on Wednesday morning to celebrate a big birthday - can you all channel your positive thoughts to help me get out on time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkingChickens Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm in CA, but in the mountains. We had a huge wet snowstorm (now it's sunny and 80, go figure) which buried the Eglu. The girls seemed to fair just fine. You know, I have a hard time believing my American friends when they say the wood coops are warmer. The girls seemed pretty darn warm!

The girls seemed to fair just fine. You know, I have a hard time believing my American friends when they say the wood coops are warmer. The girls seemed pretty darn warm! my girls survived one of the coldest and snowiest winters on record - okay - so a wooden coop with deep litter may have kept them a little bit warmer but my is super easy to clean, worry free and it looks soooooooo cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkingChickens Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That's how I feel. I feel like I can get the plastic coop really clean whereas the wood would have smells permeating it. I''m very happy with the Go and saving for the cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'd heard via a lurcher forum that you'd had a load more snow just outside Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
