It's a clear sunny 16F here in Indiana this morning ... HOLY COW! So in preparation for this arctic blast, I strategically placed three heat lamps for the overnight. I am happy to report no frozen water bottles, and it's a balmy 34F inside the barn. SWEET!! HAPPY DANCE! :cheer1:

We were 9 degrees above this morning. Amazingly the barn was still at 29 degrees. Only the lower tier of cages had any issue with ice. We had a raging High of 23 and are back to 14 ...
Seems that , inspite of what the weatherman says.... winter is barreling in ahead of schedule....whining will now commence......

My kids are watching the weather in Texas with great interest... and they have high hopes for snow this winter!
I have promised them that if I EVER see snow, even in the middle of the night, I will get them up. You can't afford to miss a snowfall around here... there might not be another one for 10 years. :lol:

It snowed in Dallas in the 2010/2011 winter. I have pictures. We were visiting my Mom there and it snowed maybe an inch. My eldest went nuts playing in it. But you're right it was gone the next day.

We have 3ft of snow on the ground.
Winter started 2 months ago.
Actually,,winter is RACING by. Usually by now we have -20. But it's around 0 outside (well its warm & that's my guess). So if anyone wants snow.... I've got plenty just tell me your address

Snow in Texas - gotta love it. We go all out too because you never know when or if you will see it again. You see people trying to cram every "winter activity" ever invented into like that 8 hour window before it's gone. Safety third folks - there is plenty of time to sit in the ER AFTER it all melts!

Safety is just a theory in TX. I believe these people are the ones who coined the expressions "hold my beer" and "hey watch this". Or at least gave them their infamy.

I'm happy it's been above freezing for two days now. The crocks will thaw out. But I lost the hose and the faucet in the overnight quick freeze and snow storm.

We have had a lot of lower temps than normal. I been fighting the water
dishes daily. This coming week, looks like better temps, thank goodness.
No such thing as a normal winter in NY.
