Another brutal day. -32 this morning, windchill in the -40's. Cancelled all the school buses today. -26c right now, tomorrow -32. Bitter cold. I'll send some south for some of u southerners .

thecfarm · February 02, 2015, 08:07:02 PM

We got about 6-8 inches of snow,so far, 6°

SwampDonkey · February 03, 2015, 04:33:06 AM

I've stopped looking out doors (and windows). :D

The cedar waxwings and the pine grosbeaks have been going hard at the cranberry bushes the last few days.

Skies were very clear through the night, with bright moon light, at 3:00AM, I could see the cell tower up on my brothers property, approx 1½ miles away.

Got up at 5:00 and it was -25° and the temp hasn't moved yet!

Lots of sparkles out on the snow!

clww · February 03, 2015, 09:07:10 AM

That is waaaay too cold for me!

thecfarm · February 03, 2015, 06:12:35 PM

No above freezing weather in sight. Single numbers,maybe below tonight. A full moon tonight,the moon looked pretty coming up.

Peter Drouin · February 03, 2015, 06:34:12 PM

Yeah, last night was a bright as the day and cold.

thecfarm · February 04, 2015, 06:56:04 AM

-4 and more snow coming tonight. Looks like the coast,sorry FarmingSawyer,will get more than the rest of us. I might get 3-6 inches. Smallest snow amount we had in a while. ;D

goose63 · February 04, 2015, 07:37:34 AM

We're in the single digits.....again. The winters seem to have been colder the last few years. Is global warming letting the arctic vortex cat out of the bag??

Change the name and change the game. Don't fall for it. ;D

76 and sunny. ;D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

SwampDonkey · February 04, 2015, 01:25:24 PM

The snow has begun again, the worst of it coming tomorrow I think. Was -13F this morning.

Buckshot00 · February 04, 2015, 05:47:43 PM

60 and sunny today. Tilled the garden.

sandhills · February 04, 2015, 07:59:58 PM

Got a little more snow and the wind of course, last night and this morning, but not much. Suppose to be back down to -7 F tonight, then back to the 40's by this weekend :

FarmingSawyer · February 05, 2015, 07:21:54 AM

32f. Snowing hard and fast. Fine snow and everything is coated Looks like we are getting the full 6".

drobertson · February 05, 2015, 08:10:57 AM

cold enough to need the lamp in the pump house, I did not, which makes momma not a happy camper,
it did thaw in about 30 min. close call there, 8° is cold enough to need the lamp.

What we do here when it's cold enough to freeze is to put 2 light bulbs in the enclosure around the pump, just in case one of the bulbs goes out. When checking once in a while, if you only have one bulb lit, change the other one. ;)

thecfarm · February 05, 2015, 09:12:17 AM

A fine snow here,about an inch,so far. Might stop this afternoon? It's another depends storm. I am on the line of 2-6 inches.

Stopped around 10:30 here. Maybe 2 inches. The wind has picked up as they said it would.

mesquite buckeye · February 05, 2015, 09:44:01 AM

The pump at the greenhouses got frozen in January and now we have a nice outdoor shower.

However, today 80 something and sunny. Where is that palm tree? I must seek shade. ;D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) :snowfight1:

SwampDonkey · February 05, 2015, 05:18:07 PM

Very cool. Almost worth getting cold over. Well, not quite. ;D

Had to turn on the A/C on the way home from picking up the kids...

Summer's coming. :-\ :'(

thecfarm · February 05, 2015, 05:45:21 PM

Kinda made me wonder at one time,where's the train!!
Just an old fashioned winter. How 30-40 years of mild winters makes us all forget.

Got about 8 inches. Stopped snowing around 3PM and cleared off nicely....just enough time to snowshoe around the pasture fence to expose the top wire so the horses won't think of walking over the normally 5foot high fence.......

Looks like we're in for more by early next week...... oh joy..... :

thecfarm · February 05, 2015, 06:37:09 PM

We got lucky,this time. Looks to be more coming over the weekend and non stop into mid week? Kinda looks like down your way again. :(
A cold night coming,wind chill down to -20 in my area.

SwampDonkey · February 05, 2015, 07:57:41 PM

We had 3" up here.

Although we've got a long way to go before the grass grows again, this winter has been less severe than last winter at least in my area. The last couple of weeks have been brutal though. Pretty bad when you look forward to a mosquito bite
