I Am So Over Winter

We are just coming out a pretty brutal cold snap. The last four nights it has been as low as -25 C. We're lucky if the daytime temp gets to be a balmy -19 C. Of course, the breeze wafting over the land at a gentle gazillion miles an hour doesn't help a whole lot. I've been running two heaters in the coop trying to keep it in the minus single digits. At night, I turn off the heaters for safety's sake and the coop gets mighty nippy so I bring in the kits for the night.

Everyone has made it through, thank goodness. Today it is going up to a scorching -11 and tonight it's going to be positively Hawaiian -16. So we're over the worse. For now. Until the next one.
