how cold is it in your neck of the woods

[Alan]

It must have been in the 50's today. I took my coat off while working around the barn. At 6:30 it was 49 out.

Dave,
It was a very nice change. I won't whine about how cold it's been... not -40 by any means. But, it was 54 here and felt very good in a t-shirt..... I think I had a blade of grass grow.... fed it to a cow.

It is now -8 with a -24 windchill (i'ts 11 am). Last night we hit -13 I think. With winds of about 20 mph, it's been almost white-out conditions here.

Chicken water in our barn (very tight barn) was frozen solid and it has a heat lamp not more that 4 inches above it.
It's coolllld for this part of the country in recent years. It's suppossed to warm up to 14 tomorrow. Yay.

Are there any of you folks up north, where it is normally cold like this and worse, use the bubblers in the watering tanks to keep them from freezing?

Wondering how effective they are.

You have to have electric or heat tape on the pipes, just a bubbler won't work.

BTW, we finally got above 0 today! Yeah!!

I just hope it warms up before the Iowa Beef Expo next week.

Its -5 with 20 to 25 mph winds, I'm not going to do the math. They say it might get to freezing next week. Is that what they call global warming?

[redneckcowgirlmn]

:shock: 75???? Can't even run the furnace enough to get the inside of the house past about 66! (Darn outdoor woodstove!!! Works alot better if you take apart the pipes and bang out all the frozen condensation from burning green wood though!) Heard a rumor on the news this morning that it's supposed to get ABOVE 0 today for a little bit, up to 20 on Sunday! Just might have to dig out the sleigh and take the little fat pony out for a drive. (If the harness fits over all that hair!)

Just drove back into Houston from a hay feeding trip. Worked up a bit of sweat this afternoon moving hay rings in knee deep mud, cussing at cows, etc. But at least the sun has been shining nicely these last few days, so maybe things will finally dry out. At 3:00 this afternoon it was 78 degrees!
