With the snow coming in yesterday, Jackie allowed Shadow four hours of eggsitting but then spent the remainder of the day and night on the nest herself.

Then she stood up and shook it all off, checked and turned the eggs and hunkered down on top of them to start the process again. Jackie and Shadow are built to handle this kind of weather.
