Well we've got a storm coming in overnight that has already gotten area schools cancelled. It's going to be bitter cold. We went out and covered up our coop windows with plastic leaving a few inches at the top to provide ventilation but we've never had to do this before. This is supposed to be the coldest that our area has been in the last 20 years. Our rabbits have enclosed winter housing but they are getting lots of straw to bed into. Praying for everyone's animals that are in the path of this storm.

Hope all is well, we are at -18*, just heading out to take care of the animals-Stay safe and warm!

And we've got at least one more day of this craziness. We got to -35 today. Everyone is locked down tight. Cats were even put into the garage to keep them warm.

So sorry Em. This is really rough. The water situation is getting serious.

Thankfully those were our only losses to that arctic winter blast. Today we're in the mid to high 30s and all our snow is melting. This weather has been crazy.
