Got flurries yesterday for about 15 min. Broke out my redhead winter clothes.

Just took a bucket of warm water out to the goats. They lined up in ranking order to drink. Their normal water containers were frozen. They know in real cold weather what me carrying the blue bucket means.

Was 22 at my place in sw pensacola. The pigs piled up with the cows and goats in the new enclosed section of my barn. I broke ice in our animals kiddie pools. Asked the wife to go break it again in awhile.

About 7:30 this morning my backyard thermometer hit 20 degrees, almost made it into the teens!

Left water dripping overnight, got up around 4 to make breakfast & coffee. I turned the water off and it was frozen by 6am, didn't start flowing until 10:30. I had turned on the heat lamp in my well house & turned off all the valves except the one going to the house. Just hoping we don't get a hard freeze, my old bones don't like it.

I was lucky calls for frozen pipes didn't start until 600am when I was already awake so I had the office give to youyer guys

Working with a utility company I had no choice but to be out in it, 16 degrees was very tolerable with enough clothing on, bad thing is getting too warm and the need to pull layers off , in my case I find I’m better off working outside and being just a little bit cold rather than working up a frenzy and getting too hot , that’s when you’ll get sick taking off clothes and your shirt and under garments are damp with sweat. Not my favorite temps to work in, I much prefer the mid 30’s with no wind !

I'll take 32. Ive been there working at -22.

I learned a couple tricks to winter survival during SERE training in the Cascade Mountains in February. One is to cover your feet in underarm deodorant before putting your socks on and a folded up piece of aluminum foil inside your Ranger type cap. Sounds crazy but it does work!
