Took DS to court. Then went by a hay dealer I sometimes use as it was close by. Bought 500# of the most beeeuutiful hay -- Christmas treat. . Green, orchard and young, leafy alfalfa. Wish I could afford a semi of it so do the goats!

Cold start but warmed fast...nice! Wormed 18 goaties. Only 10 more to go . Of course, the less cooperative 10!! Thankfully they are also last group wormed. Want to get it done with these few days of real COLD coming so everything is dealt with inside and on ground. . Kidding starts in another 4-6 weeks. CDTs after first of yr. Bellies are filling up with new life.

Hey @Alaskan it was cute of you to send us your weather, but any chance you could take it back now?
We just went from a nice day, to negative temps, with negatives expected tomorrow.

Ha! It didn't leave me!!!!

The weather just GREW, I think it has been eating too much holliday eggnog.

Poor eldest, his ferry tonight was canceled due to weather.

I scrambled, shelled out a bunch of money, and got some of the last plane tickets... hopefully he will get home tomorrow.

Woke up at 2 something, got up 3:30ish. While heating up leftover quesadillas, my microwave died. Merry Christmas to me! I get to buy another one. I’ve filled big pots with water, cutting off water tonight and draining pipes. It won’t get above freezing tomorrow. The add on utility room isn’t very well insulated. That’s where the water heater and washing machine are, and a sink. I’ll put a bucket of water for flushing the toilet in the bathtub. Should be interesting with 3 girls. I’ll leave water off while I’m gone.
Note to self: pull metal off outside walls of utility room and add pipe wrap and insulation!

Not sure about were you are but parts of MT dropped 30 degrees in 3 minutes yesterday morning. It wasn't that bad here but yesterday it was showing the wind chills here being 30 degrees different in 30 miles from the south wind in front of the front to behind the artic blast.
I got the coffee started and restocked the fire. Even turned on the diesel heater in the garage for the morning cig.

I am a little further south, in CO but it dropped about 30 degrees, I think, in about 30 minutes yesterday.
It was about -15 out this morning, says its -13 now, I'm about to go take my turn for checking on animals outside. But it hit pretty suddenly yesterday, I went out to run before chores, and right when I turned around, it got super cold. It was probably mid 40's when I started running, and I bet close to single digits and unable to feel fingers when we finished chores.

The blast just hit me. Temps dropped like a rock and snow flurries. The sheep are in the shed hiding.

45 at wake, went to 58....storm front from south brought warm temps and rain, A L L day. 40s at wake up tomorrow and by 2 starts to drop fast. 10 for sat morn with heavy winds, so a feel like of bitter!!! . Same all weekend. .

Had dental apptmt at 8, x-rays & scans....then, at 2 for 2 crown prep&temps, plus a filling. 2 wasn't originally set but someone cancelled and a long open span became available. Not a fan of 3hr at dentist but, all the major part is done!! And paid on 2022 insurance$$ sitting there. . Besides, it was raining.

So in morning, double check pipes, bedding in barns, plug in water tubs....fill hay racks, then hibernate!!

That part sounds really, really good! The other stuff not so much! (especially the dental!)
