WOW!! Stepped out the door this morning, and it's -5C, or 21F, depending on whether or not you speak English or American. :lol: :lol: I could almost be convinced to calve cows in this weather! No.......wait a minute....no, no, no, no, no, NO. In the words of the great John Anderson, "Somebody Slap Me."

Slapppp :D

It is so nice outside,great walk this morning. Funny how we climatise,I even thought the -24 was pretty nice yesterday,today is shorts weather :lol:
 
Same here - 24 degrees this morning- supposed to be in the 30's today- but also 30mph winds coming in....Then about Friday and Sat, they say Mrs. Greg is going to leave that arctic door open again- and we'll end up with 10-15 Below weather again for a couple of days over the weekend....Predicting snow every day for the next week.....
 
Looks like I have Mrs. Greg and Shelly to thank (or cuss) for this:

Only thing good out of this arctic front is that they say it will be fast-back up into the teens and twenties by Sunday.....

Still pretty nice here- 32 degrees but snow squalls going thru...One minute the sun is shining- the next you can't see a 1/4 mile.....
 
Still sounding like the bad stuff of this storm is going to slip east of us :) altho they are saying cold and blustery here....

Blizzard Watch out for most of North Dakota......

Looks like Canada is sending more than just feeder cattle south OT. Nothing like a little "Arctic Out-flow" to crisp up a morning.

-24C here right now with -40C/-40F windchills. So much for our heatwave. It's been snowing since daybreak, so with this damn wind, I'm sure there'll be some nice drifts waiting for me when we go out to feed this afternoon.

I have had enough of this crap.
It is supposed to be -40 tonight and calm.Just what we need, and a high of -26 tomorrow.The wind is out of the north west now and is stifling :( .
 
It hasn't hit down here YET-- temp is 21, sunny, and really kind of nice- but I see on the radar where both north and south of us are getting snow squalls....Supposed to hit here about 2PM...
I fed behind the windbreaks as best I could-- ran into town and got my horse oats- and my running around done- now just waiting for it to hit....

Still saying most of the cold going east of me-- temps only dropping down to 15-20 below.....
 
What bull? I have no idea what you're talking about Northern.

OOPS! :shock: Where did he come from??!!? Okay, I'll give myself a shameless plug. He's Boughbaron Seamus 5S, coming 2yrs old, completely forage raised. Weighed 1200lbs at New Years, 37cm scrotal. He's not the deepest bodied bull we've ever raised, and this isn't a great pic of him, but he is pretty fancy in person. Rather UN-like me and Northern. :P
