You are surely visiting our "regular for this time of year" temps @CntryBoy777 !! We don't usually go real negative until the end of January AFTER the January thaw.

We were below 0 last night, with a high of abt 3 today, and -10 tonight, but by Wednesday it finally gets uo to abt 19degs.

My waterers are refrozen by the time I get the last ones thawed. They go at it for a while, and get a second drink at night feeding.

We've started battling Cattle waterers. We don't have enough cows to keep the automatic waterers from freezing when it stays cold for this long. Two pastures have natural springs that are still running. That leaves two pens of feeder/Show calves that we are having to be creative with. The chickens seem to be doing well with rubber pans that we can bust the ice out of and fill twice a day. I found a hen sitting on three eggs this morning. Those were the only ones that haven't frozen during this cold spell.

@Pastor Dave We are now on a wind chill advisory because the wind speed is up and due to the cold, it's causing more problems. Definitely stir crazy kids now! Lol

our kids go back to school tomorrow- 2 had homework to do over the week break. Youngest DS(12) brought a few games out that we have played during the week- "Farkle" being the favorite. We've also played some of the different games on Wii to help burn some energy!
