 We got another 1/2 to 3/4 inches of snow last night. Sure will be glad when this polar vortex leaves. Just a couple days more, right. With the low of 15 degrees this morning, the frost did not produce as much on our windows. My first initial impression of this one, was a speed ice…

It was even colder this morning! Our low was -6.3 degrees. We have never seen it that cold here before. So far we have been really lucky and not experienced a power outage. Fingers crossed. I’m so sorry some of you are having them. By Friday hopefully we will get above freezing. Fingers and toes…

 It got down to .7 degrees. That is very close to what the app say which was  zero. It took three times for Gracie to step out from the the front porch to go to do her business before it was light outside. Then she ran to and then back to the house as quick…

Pausing on the Tuesday’s grasslands photos.  The ice today wins 🙂   Our temperature ranged from 25 to 29 with a 91% humidity. I did see 3-4 flakes of snow in our woods at 11-ish.  The sidewalk had this ice on it early this morning! The field and the neighbor’s haybales were getting ice on them….

Cold is here!

 Our high today was midnight at 32.5 degrees. We never got above 29 during daylight hours. Really glad we went to the grasslands yesterday.  With the mist this morning, we had a bit of ice on our gate. Hopefully that is all we get. Continuing on with yesterday’s grasslands photos.
