This, and mud season are why Vermonters leave their snow tires on until late April (sometimes May).
Most of the snow fell overnight, so I don’t have pictures of it coming down. The weather says local accumulation of ~7 i nches, it looks like less here, but that’s probably because a lot of it blew away. In typical third-winter fashion it should all be melted in three to five days.

We got 10" of snow here last Thursday/Friday. It’s a memory today, except for a couple of small piles that are covered by shade.

How is the gut holding up? I don’t envy keeping up an early Spring workload in that kind of discomfort and sloppy weather.

How are the lambs? And how are you feeling?

We probably only got 0.5" here in Boston. Seems like this storm would have been really good for Green Mountain skiing if any of the resorts were still open.

Here in northern Quebec we got 10 inches last Friday and expecting a good 6 inches Thursday. Good news is I’m off work till the 13th so I can plow my yard. Might go for a few last snowmobile rides this weekend next week.

It's much better, my bowel movements are still a bit anomalous, but the pain is pretty much gone. Still have a real shortage of energy. Mrs. BoostAddict has been working hard, and I thank her for that.

At least those you work around won’t complain about bad farts.

Lambs are good. We got twins each from a pair of yearling ewes yesterday... Luckily they both seem to be adequate mothers, so no new bottle lambs to deal with. I am not 100%, but I am also not crippled with gut pain any more, which is very nice. I just finished the prescribed antibiotic course, so hopefully stuff will be going back to full normal pretty soon. I'm still struggling with being tired, but Mrs. BoostAddict has really worked her ass off to take up my slack.

So did we... But the re-freeze is traditional.

My mother had diverticulitis recently, and my wife had a similar gut ailment a couple years ago. Doesn’t look like fun. But I’m glad you’re on the mend.
I’ve been working the wife hard to get a lamb but she won’t budge. My neighbors are apparently getting chickens and/or ducks. I’ve been taking bets on how long they last before their giant I talian mastiff gets to them.

Although they are often fart source themselves, theirs don't really stink... The belches though!
