[Ag-eq] Cold!

[Michelle Clark]

Besides the 2  degree weather, snow,  and near Wizard of Oz like wind here
in the DC Metropolitan area this weekend, we are cold like you. Now wait, it
snowed again last evening, snowed up to about 10 inches. Buses, trains,.
Schools, and the Federal Government are closed down. They are predicting
snow again tomorrow afternoon. However, it is mid February and we do not
have near 80 inches of snow like Boston. I'm grateful.

It's 9 degrees here in northwest Arkansas this morning.  I've had to break
the ice on the animal waters with a hammer the last couple of days.  We have
about
3 inches of sleet and snow.  My goats are hiding in the barn.  Jack and
Cruiser were covered with ice yesterday, so I locked them in their stalls
last night.

Saturday reached 66 and it was beautiful; I don't know what happened!

The guys finished my new roof on Saturday, just in time.

I noticed some lillies coming up next to the house; they probably got
frozen. 
Yesterday I started to do a load of laundry only to find out that the drain
line was frozen.  Water started going all over the floor.  I wasn't planning
on mopping the laundry room, but it got done.  Now I have a washing machine
mostly full of water and wet clothes waiting for the thaw!

I'm starting to miss Phoenix a little!

  How are the rest of you fairing?

Nella
