The big front pasture drains better than it used to... but we still have an ice skating rink.
I don't keep a hose attached in the winter (it's probably faster just lugging buckets, honestly) But I can pretty accurately guess the temperature based on how easy it is to use this pump. Does the handle lift easily? 25 deg F or warmer. Is it a bit sticky? 15-25.
Do I really need to put my weight into it? Below 10.
Today it reached the 40s. Everything is wet and my barn is flooded because the ground is still frozen enough that's there's no where for the water to go. Thank goodness the hay is off the ground.
It's also, thank you ridiculous weather, now a good time for maple sugaring. I am NOT ready! Noo!
