Winter already?

I broke down and bought both The Old Farmers Almanac 2019 and Blum's Farmer's and Planter's Almanac 2019. So far the Old Farmers Almanac has been a bust. According to them, this week is supposed to be "very-cold" and we are forecast for 34 today, 36 tomorrow, and 40 degrees on Saturday. The low of 8 on Tuesday morning was cold, but not "very-cold" by any means. For me, very cold is when our temps reach -30.

For me, very cold is when our temps reach -30.

I seriously do NOT know how any living thing functions in those conditions.

You really feel it when it hits -10. It's just a drastic difference, and not a good one! As long as they're out of drafts, the animals do fine. Mostly. I couldn't keep dorkings alive here, and it weeds out the old birds every year.

Call me an old bird! I ain't leaving TEXAS!!!!

I think our average daytime temp for this time of year is 15 degrees F.
Right now, we are sitting at 28 degrees.

30 below zero? I would be moving right quick!

We only hit the -30 range for about a week during Feb. Usually, right around Valentines day.
