Good thing I drove out in this blizzard to find a few bags of coal to last us this week. 

Because the very next morning...

 

Yep.  That's -20 you see right there.   It was 5:30 a.m.   Still read that at 8:30.  Took all morning to bypass the 0 reading.

Doesn't seem to affect the chickens though.  We are still getting eggs, and they are toasty warm with the heat lamp on.

Banked a little bit of snow around the base of the barn, and put the light blanket/sheets on the horses.  It was -10 in the barn, but felt much better without that high wind whipping through.  They didn't seem to mind a bit as long as they had water.  Almost over....
