What a difference a day makes!

Just the other day I was talking about it feeling like spring, look what that got us into...  

It's not fit out for man nor' beast!  

It's 14 Degrees with a brutal 5-10 mph breeze blowing on top of that.  

I was just out with the dogs and you can hear the trees creaking and cracking from the cold.  Your pants freeze stiff in seconds, dogs won't stay out more that a few minutes at a time.  

I took some extra time to button up the barn tonight making sure the doors were all shut well.  A little extra hay and a handful of grain go a long way in this cold.  Water for the chickens (heated during winter as is the horse bucket) collected the eggs before the overnight freeze gets them.

The Quadrantid meteor shower http://earthsky.org/tonight should be good, ~2AM eastern time I hear, don't know if I'll make it up till 2am again, (couldn't sleep last night.)

You waiting up for it?
