A predictable winter

greenstormThis winter has just been a continuous bounce from cold to warm to cold again. We're having another one-- last week was up to 7C, this week will get down to -24C at night. Bounce, bounce. My driveway is a 6" slab of ice, but since we got a full foot of snow last night and a ton of wind it's impossible to fall down on it.
I need to go out and snowblow, but first I need to dig the snowblower out of the drift of snow in front of the shed. We hadn't had a big snow this winter, or maybe just one, so it will be good to have the moisture. On the other hand, I am poorly equipped right now to snowblow and carry straw for animals. I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep, despite that glorious sun outside.
In slightly troubling news my well needs something or other done to it, the pressure has dropped considerably. The pressure tank seems ok, it may be the pressure switch that's failing. So I hope, anyhow. Hopefully too I can get someone to come out and look at it before it fails completely. Melting snow on the woodstove for animals to drink does not seem fun, though I guess I could hook up the animal water heaters.
Edited to add: there are something like 40 ravens hanging out in the pigpen, it's driving me nuts.
