It’s going to be in the teens and low 20’s starting Thursday night. Friday is back down to 12F degrees again, the predictions bobble up and down. It will be sunny Christmas weekend, so no rain, no ice, no snow.
Coffee anyone ?

It has to be REALLY cold for that trick to work!!!
For snow from clouds... the clouds are often a totally different temperature than the temperature at the ground. So you can get snow when it is 40 at ground level....
Woh! It is supposed to be 28 at midnight on Christmas Eve. I have a spray bottle, maybe mist will freeze.

I think it has to be close to or below zero for that to work. And DANG I wish I'd known those tricks when I was a kid in the midwest - would have made cold even more fun - waaaay back then.Mini Horses

26 here right now.....dry and cold. 
I remember I liked the occasional snow when a kid. Now, not so. nope. Glad none around me. They are suggesting if "things align" that flurries could happen at end of week. I don't expect it. Just colder cold. . Rain Thur??
Those minus temps in Midwest are scary!!
I'm just enjoying coffee and waiting for house to warm up. 59 in here and thinking I should have left heater set higher.....brrrrrr!!!
. Chores waiting.

Only 42F here, the cold hits Thursday. Meeting friends in Rusk tonight at 6:00 to pick up 15 year old. Only a little over an hour away, but I drive slower at night, so will probably add 30 minutes to time. Kamakazie deer jump out of the woods and there are 2 stretches of road that are 2 lane, no shoulder, cutting through tree canyons (forest). My son hit a deer on one of those roads, the first 3 ran across the road, then one he didn’t see sprang out at the last second. It went under his truck, wrapped around the front axle and flipped his truck. It rolled. Good thing he had slowed down, he doesn’t drive fast any way. Totaled his truck, he walked away from it. In my little car, with 3 kids, oh yeah, you can bet my Kamakazie Deer Radar will be on full alert.
Let me go find those pictures. Found ‘em. The first one was as it stopped, the other 2 were after the wrecker rolled it over.

FIFTY NINE!!!!!!
I don't know if I would have been able to drag my butt out from under the quilt! I have trouble sometimes when I turn on the fan during the night and then have to try to get out between oscillations so it doesn't blow on me
Little Blossom turns 1 month old today! I started leaving the barn open Sat night so they have the option to stay in or spend the night in the pasture. They're doing great and I'm enjoying not cleaning stalls 2x daily! Cows are SOOOOOO much messier than horses EVER were! And it's so much more important for Eva to have a clean bed.
But with it being so cold AND a day of rain on the way - I think I'm going to pull a bunch of that hay she's not really liking and bed up those stalls and leave them inside Thurs. They probably really wouldn't care.. but I will feel better.

Cats always love Christmas so much.
We should redecorate the whole house on a regular basis just for their entertainment.

Think she'll have them unwrapped before the gathering?
