We had a cold but sunny morning. Right after the horses were fed here I left for Middle Grove to check on the horses there and make sure the automatic waterer hadn't frozen in our -20 temps and -40 wind chills. As all of Karin's schools were closed again because of the extreme cold she offered to go with me. When we arrived all was well. Karin got her horse fix as each horse was greeted and handled.

As soon as I got home the weanlings were watered again then 7 loads of wood were brought inside for the wood burners. The snow started falling this afternoon and quickly was covering the horses backs of those that were standing out in the snow. What is interesting as their winter coats are so well insulated that the snow does not melt from off of their back.
I decided to leave early for Rhoda and Lee's house and was glad I did. The roads were snow covered and Interstate 74 was a white out at times. I was thankful for good snow tires. I made it in time for Rhoda and Lee to go to Lee's work appreciation dinner. Iris got to go to the dinner with them wearing her special shirt Lee's co-workers gave her.
I stayed back to watch Zion and we had fun playing with Ruby.
The drive home was not bad at all. The plows had been out and the interstate clear. The temperature was also rising and is now in positive single digits. Hopefully tomorrow we will have a good warm-up.
