Morning all. 17F (-8C) last night. Supposed to be about the same tonight. Let the faucets drip last night to prevent freezing; will do the same tonight. After tonight temps are supposed to be above freezing for the near future with highs near 70F (21C) Friday.  :)

The temperature is still (although slowly) dropping.  around 14F now.  But the wildlife is active.  I put more corn out for the critters and birdfood in the feeders.  Here's a picture from a few minutes ago.

-4 this morning with very little wind, which is nice for a change. SUpposed to get up around 1`4 degrees today!!!      WOOT heat!!!!     LOL

   We actually hit -47 below Wind chill with a highest recorded windspeed of 48 mph..   that was one ugly night. my SHOWER pipes froze at the top on the north side of the house.  Had to put a heater in the shower to get it thawed out.   Will have to insulate the concrete wall and build the dirt against it up a bit higher this spring.
   Hope everyone else came through that nasty cold in good shape.. has to get warmer from here right????

A nice, sunny 7 F. "-13.8 C." here this morning. Made coffee with water saved last night. Don't have any this morning. OH, well. It will thaw eventually. Just gotta have a little patience.

4F here this morning, already has raced up to 6F.  But the sun is out and it's going to be a beautiful day.  Took some food and water out to the dog this morning.  He was already on his morning constitutional.  Should be back into the 60s this weekend.  That will be nice.

Ok during the summer I always wishing for the winter to get here, always said I could on enough clothes to stay warm and only enough to cool off, change my mind this morning with a 12 degree outside, freezing than and still now even though it has gone to 24 now with a high of 32. The bees was coming out yesterday and still cold outside and not making it back in to the hive, I think the hives were warming up good in the sun, so I put a brick at the lower entrance, should I close the top one also.

Strange weather this morning. Tuesday morning was 7 F. This morning is 57 F, calling for 66 F today. Right now we are having thunder & lightening. That ain't supposed to happen in mid Jan. Raining for the third consecutive day.

I wouldn't close the top, you need ventilation of some sort.

The big melt here today I think. Well above zero (freezing) but heavy rainfall warning is in effect this weekend.
