Where's @Ridgetop ??? Haven't seen her post in a while ?? @Baymule any contact? All ok?

Rare for her to go "quiet"

Their truck had problems, then here came Christmas and all the confusion that brings.

25 and going to 51. It’s a sunny day.
Oldest granddaughter was sick with sinus, sore throat and now I am sick. My voice is squeaky. Been outside and fed, on first cup of coffee now. At least tomorrow night it only gets down to 33F.

Get better Bay.

We got down to 11 with a 0 for windchill. Going to warm up a lot today and stay that way for a week. Get what needs done while I can.

Boots are for you... THE BOX is strictly for HER....

YEAH!!! The worst of it has passed by here... and after reading some of what yall are going through, it wasn't really all that bad here.
I carefully drain and hang my hose - but it froze anyway .. and then I snapped it like a glow stick trying to straighten it out.
A few frozen buckets lined up along the side of the driveway waiting to thaw.
LOTS of hay "wasted" bedding up the stalls and either keeping Eva and her calf in during the worst of it or giving them the option to come in if they wanted. "Evidence" says they took advantage of it quite a bit.
The chickens seemed to do just fine - even the silly hen that decided to molt week before last & is now running around half naked. Every night I would find her all alone on one end of the roost so I'd plop her down in the middle of all the cochins and turn out the light real quick.
At work we had another situation entirely. I came in this AM to find a river of ice flowing from the back of the scalehouse, down the entrance road, across the main road and into the woods. Apparently the 13 coworkers who arrive before me didn't think that was odd....
I clocked in and started running around checking - sure enough, there was a guizer under the scale house and the crawl space was about 18" deep in water!
The running water froze up the out-bound scale so my scale attendant has to scale everyone in & out on the in-bound side. Which means that I get to walk back and forth along the scale and direct traffic all day. THANK GOD it's warmer and not windy!!!!!

I took Dad over to my sister & her hubby's house for Christmas and had a very nice time - so all-n-all it wasn't a very bad 'scary storm weekend'.
I hope that all of you who DID/ARE having a tough time of it get warm and back to normal real soon.

After morning chores, I went to work for a couple hrs. Back mid afternoon after things warmed. Goats were laying around out in the sun. . Obviously enjoying it!

I dumped ice, refilled everything with fresh water and watched them drink well. Felt good. We're to have a more normal weather pattern this week. 22-25 nights & 45-50 days. With all the chunks out, it'll be a thin break on top, melt during day...mostly. I'll keep the floater on in the 150 gal tank, at night, in case I need to dip for others. Hoping this extreme doesn't reappear. But we're all ok and that's great!

@farmerjan hope your pipes held and no repairs needed.

Funny but, I had one molt late -- after all others, she was naked! Then she started to roost outside? When this crap rolled in I knew she'd freeze! Went out after dark and took her in the barn! She must have understood cause she's there ever since
