Coffee is ready. I drew up water yesterday, turned water off and drained pipes. Not supposed to get above freezing until Wednesday. I don’t like freezing weather.

Winter has arrived. -3°F
We're thankful it's cold enough to switch to the wood furnace. We were down to 38% of the propane tank!!
Gotta feed the chickens some fat today while the cat is out of the coop. That cat is FAT since moving into the chicken coop. Also, the kids haven't seen mice in the coop since moving tha cat
She isn't eating any cat kibble!

FJ: that is amazing that wind can drive water away that far, exposing the piers.
I went on to the second article about the Edmund Fitzgerald. In Nov '75, I was a jr in college. I don't remember anything about this event, but certainly loved the song. Great video article!! Thanks.

10° again last night. Warmer air is moving in. We're up to 28° at 10:40. Rain is coming back on Tuesday when the cold goes away

So yesterday Mom tells me I got a post card from the local hospital telling me I need to book a colonoscopy. I haven't been to that hospital in 36 years. It was also in my maiden name. I haven't use that since the 1990s. Haven't lived at my parents house in forever either.
Where the heck did they pull their list of people to send thing to?

Very interesting story... the winds must be really wicked to move that much water....Single digits here. Interesting side effect from the storm system. The prevailing winds are pushing water out of the shallow western Lake Erie basin, exposing part of the lake bed. Kinda cool
Point Place's 'Dynamite Dock' revealed as Lake Erie water pushed out of Western Basin
Like an eerie apparition, the final remains of a massive 1884 explosion revealed themselves on Saturday to curious Point Placers.www.google.com

Been cold here and more wind than normal... 25 up to maybe 40 but the wind made it the coldest 40 I have felt in a LOOOONG Time.
Got cows caught in the catch pen and moved to barn lot for pregnancy checks tomorrow. Vet due at 1 p.m.... got 30 to do... expect there are a couple that are open... found a dead calf and not sure who had it.....so at least one that is not still pregnant... I think there are 29 to do...
Supposed to get about 1/2 to 2 inches of snow starting around 3-4 a.m.; then a break and more coming in after 2 or so...
Down to 24 and dropping a bit more most likely. At least the cotton pickin' wind has died down... it was brutal out there.
Did what I could to get things situated for the cold and snow...
