| Wednesday evening, as the sun set over our little valley, the temperature began to drop rapidly. |
 |
| The animals started to gather and chow down on their supper in order to fortify themselves for the brutally freezing night to come. |

| Inside, we humans stoked the fire and got the house temp up into the 80's. I keep our geo-thermal thermostat set on 68 F all winter, so this wood burning stove really puts out the heat. By midnight Wednesday there was more than a 80 degree difference between the indoor vs outdoor temperatures. It was minus 16 degrees F outside when we woke up Thursday morning. Today's "animal" guy - K8 - got lucky. I sent all 4 K boys out to feed and water the animals. The good news is we have warm weather coming this weekend which will stick around for a while. |
I don't think I've EVER been in -16 degree cold. If it's that bad in Missouri, How bad is it in Minnesota?
