Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

trade you temps we are at 18* this morning with a few snow flakes coming down(not suppose to amount to anything) and then Friday night/Sat morning we are to get 1-2" of snow.

Ummmmmmmmm NO a big fat NO! There is a reason I live here, and a reason why I whine and complain once it goes down under 70. Anything under 70 is coat weather IMO. Below 40 is down filled coat weather... gloves are on at 50.

I wasn't aware it got that cold in NC. Aren't y'all in the SOUTH??

We don't usually get those lows in Dec.
NC generally has one realllllly cold month (NC cold that is) where day will be at freezing or around there and nights- teens to single digits.
More late Jan/early Feb thing...
Although according to averages... it says 49 day 29 night for Jan and 54 day and 32 night..... not sure about all that

BTW- I used Bio-pryn on a few goats this year for preg check... It was great! Very inexpensive, easy to mail out, results next day after they received samples.
I normally don't need a preg check... but I was going to sell two goats, thought one may be bred and one was open but needed to verify... glad I did because the one is pregnant- throws everything off now... but at least I know. It would not have been good if these goats left and one ended up kidding in Feb on the new farm.

So after working a 12 hour day....DH is now taking our clothes dryer apart...it(the dryer) stopped drying the clothes mid load DH is trying to determine what is wrong, what part is needed and if it's even worth fixing- we've had the dryer for 14 years now and it's seen a lot of laundry! Had to hang up the wet clothes and hoping that DS(12)'s gym shirt dries for tomorrow.....

DD asked why I was drying the clothes weird
