This morning as I wait for the sun to rise the thermometer reads 33 Below-- and shows that sometime during the night it hit 35 Below... With the 8-10 mph breeze out there-- that puts the chill factor somewhere around 50 Below...

Report from Soapweed country. Minus one degree, breeze out of the northwest at 3.8 mph, giving a windchill of minus eight degrees. Probably four to five inches of snow on the ground, but hard to tell as there is lots of quite bare ground showing, with three-foot drifts in other places. One drift is nearly five feet tall right in front of the horse barn door. :? It's supposed to get up to around 13 above, light winds, and down to 8 below tonight. Could be worse.

Well we have had our proverbial "January thaw" except that it started 2 days early. It rained a lot in the past 24 hours and took 99% of our snow.

That's pretty much the same here Soapweed. The pastures don't look bad at all, but around the house and buildings, there's some pretty good size drifts...Some tanks are blown in with snow, but the critters seemed to have survived. Hubby did manage to push the backdoor open enuff to get out and shovel off the steps and the dog house was buried..so dug it out too...but our dogs are in the house most of the time so they were fine. The sun is shining and that alone is a great start to this new year!
Happy 2011 Everyone! Let the winter ranching games begin! lol

Neighbor a mile down the road had 40 Below this morning, altho he said it could have been colder as his thermometer only goes down to -40 (must be a southern made thermometer) :wink: Weather folks say they got several other reports from folks down the river that had -40.....
Hydraulics on the bale truck did not want to work too well this morning (especially since a dog must have bumped into and unplugged my hydraulics tank heater during the night
)...
Sun is out- temp is supposed to get up to 4 Below today (22 Below now at Noon)- down to 8 Below tonight but warming during the night-- and up to 20 Above tomorrow
