This very cold windy day was spent opening up frozen waterers every few hours and I'm sure that will continue tomorrow. We started the day with single digits and so much wind that as one was walking across the driveways it was more like sailing across the icy driveways. Right now we are -1 but according to the weather we will be right at -20 by 7:00 am tomorrow. That is actual temperatures and the wind is suppose to be blowing 15-16 miles an hour giving us wind chills of -45. This cold spell is suppose to be breaking all kinds of records. Those records we DON'T want to break. We are comfy inside our house with both wood burners going strong. Of course that meant carrying in loads of wood but that is a small price to pay to be warm.
We have cancelled our walk and just about everything else. Even Meister companies are not going to be open. It is too dangerous for people to drive in. Mark said they will be working from home and we are praying no one has a heating emergency.
I just came down from one last trip up to the barn. Only the last weanling paddock had ice on it. I used the hair dryer to melt the ice then used an old horse blanket, wrapped it around the waterer, tied it with a rein and hope that tomorrow they will have water.
This evening the mare album was worked on and placed on Facebook. It tells the due date and the stallion each mare was bred to. If interested on seeing what is coming for 2019 click HERE. You will need to click on each picture for the information.
