Cranky Puppy Farm: Breaking Records

Welcome to Cranky Puppy Farm!

This blog belongs to two Gen X-er's smackdab in downtown Kansas City where we've been renovating and decorating two old Victorians built in the 1890's. Our life is filled with 3 demanding Pomeranians (1 of them cranky, of course), honking cars, noisy neighbors and the hustle and bustle of city life but we dream of the day when we can move to our 40-acre farm and hear nothing but the wind and the cows next door. Until then, we're chronicling our triumphs and mishaps here as we try to garden and preserve on 2 city lots, raise chickens, and learn all those things we should have learned from our grandparents. Welcome to our world - we hope you'll stay awhile!

Breaking Records

Monday, March 03, 2014

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

We hit -6 last night, breaking the record for the coldest day in March in our area.

I just updated the almanac stuff to the right and guess what said about February? "Near normal temperatures...". Guess what it says about March? "Near normal temperatures..."

Uh-huh. February was one of the coldest on records. I guess I should give them a little credit for saying that it would be coldest on March 3rd.

Near normal temperatures for us right now should be in the mid-40's to almost 50. Heck, that would be shorts weather after all this bitter cold we've had. Is Spring ever going to get here?!
