-20' Fahrenheit tonight...

I hear we may break records for cold.

We've been sub zero the last two nights. It's moving east, to you all, and then out. Good riddance. It's not spring yet, for sure, but it's time for some moderation.

I am so sorry ...

I'm not ready for heat yet, but agree about the moderation.
Last week everyone was talking about spring, and i was reminding them it was still February. It's been a good year for cutting wood though, in winter we rely on the cold to cut where we can't send machines in summer. Also we use roads that freeze in winter, are nothing but soil in the summer, and mud in the spring and fall.

We were sick of it so we sent it your way.

I also feel your pain

I would honestly rather it was -20.

35* and rain here. It sucks.

I wish we could skip spring. Stay froze through march and then thaw out and dry up in about a weeks time. Go straight to sunny and 80.

Well, 65-70 maybe. The only good thing about those 80 degree days is that it makes my garden grow.

I find that this is almost what is happening here the last few years. Not as dramatic as you say but it heats up right away lately.

We were -18 2 days ago, I hope that's the last of it for this year.

I have worked outside in -25 weather years ago. I don't think my joints would work in that temp these days, lol!

Our ground here is south central KY will freeze overnight enough to make it nearly impossilbe to push a wheelbarrow full of manure across the ground after the horses have tracked it all up. Then by around noon the next day it will be nearly impossible to push through because it is so soft and sticky. It does not really freeze solid at all. I don't get the tractor out much during this time because it will really mess things up.

Even with the recent rains, we are actually coming out of the mud season with the longer daylight hours, wind and warmer temps.

You got it. No mud with that senerio.:laughing: For the most part I've only got about 4" around most of the barn, but there are two holes that the cows walk through where they go up to their bellies. Can't believe they won't walk around those holes, but I guess the shortest path is a straight line.:laughing:
