Way Too Cold

The Farmers Almanac for this week says "Warmest days January 6th through 8th."  Good grief, I hope not!

There should be a law against having to go to work when it's this cold!

On the news today, they said that you hadn't seen weather this cold in the Kansas City area if you were younger than 40.  First of all, that made me feel really old.  But then I realized that I must have been too young to remember it because, well.....I don't remember it ever being this cold.  Not to be graphic, but you know it's cold when you go outside and your boogers freeze in your nose.

 

I suppose I shouldn't even be whining, since it's negative 40 to negative 50 in Montana, North Dakota, etc.  Holy cow!  Are you guys OK up there?!

 

Change is coming though, with a gradual warm-up here starting Wednesday and a weekend that's supposed to solidly in the mid to upper 40's.  Anything beats this.  I certainly know that I and the chickens will be glad to be able to get out after being "cooped up".  *grin*   See what I did there?

 

Speaking of the coop...the temp inside is holding at 23 degrees.  Not idea for us humans, but the hens should come through this cold spell just fine.

 

Stay warm, my friends!
