“Baby, it’s cold outside” as my Mom used to say!
9 below out there as I write this at a quarter to 8 am.
I plugged the tractor and the pickup in, tho’ I should go harness the team and pitch some hay on or unroll a bale as they will run with out being plugged in. I am sure it will warm up a little as the day goes on, but I haven’t checked the weather.
One thing about it, this kind of weather keeps a lot of the crazies down south! 😉

We do have a pleasantly low riff-raff ratio up here, don’t we?
It was all of one degree here about an hour ago. Us southerners always get the heat waves.
They can keep them down south too 🙂
Our average December temps are from 36 – 60 degrees. It’s -9 where you are and I’m the crazy one?!?! hmmmm…. *grin*
So, Ruth, how warm does it get there and stay for how long? If you want to stay down there with the wacko’s and crazy’s, be my guest! 🙂
I think I may be one of the crazies! That’s ok, we’re family so you gotta love me anyhow!! *grin*
Not much riff raff up here either..they even move out from under all the bridges and head south.. we were 25 below zero F here this morning..uffda:)
