Yesterday three gates were frozen solid when I went out to feed in the early a.m. There are a couple of choices with that dilemma... climb over, chop it out or melt it. I fed the dogs thru the fences , poured salt on the gate openings and waited. I use table salt as the other packaged stuff for sidewalks can be toxic.
So late day I was out shoveling the meltdown to prevent freezing this morning's gates. Yet to find out, but this Spring season will be long with the great snow we've had having to meltdown.
I chopped trenches yesterday, but we're expecting more snow and then more warm temps.
Spring ahead! Definitely a season of mixed emotions... snow, love us or leave us!!
