Snow Day!  Yippee!  A real, old-fashioned blizzard out there…

Hot coffee and a good book in front of the fire.

It was -4.5 degrees this morning when we got up.  Now, just after
lunch, it has warmed up to 5.4 degrees.  I do remember years when
it got colder than this…as in -25 degrees one weekend when we had
just gotten new chickens.  That was waaaaay back.  But this
is cold enough for me.  The wind is howling across the flatlands,
too, making the windchill something insane.  Good thing the Super
Bowl isn’t in Chicago or Indianapolis.
