Well. We are doing a Polar Vortex thing here in our area, again. Last week the weather was mild and rather comfortable.
We are now celebrating when the temps rise above 0 F. This morning, I didn't do chores until it was -10 F, and yes, I stayed quite comfortable outside. It may look goofy, but there is something nice about not being cold while out in the cold.
We are in a Cold Watch which will become a Extreme Cold Watch Thursday late through Saturday. My girls seem to have everything under control with their lovely thick winter coats.
More snow is supposed to happen tonight and Wednesday. -20 to -40 windchills are forecast to go along with that. Looks like a good time for a nice big pot of homemade soup.
Regular temps are predicted to look like this 👇
Thursday during the day looks decent enough that I might get out and do a bit of hiking with Charlie, but I doubt I'll be out and about Friday other than chores.
The shots below are from a bit of wandering around our forest today.
I just don't mess with extremely cold temps. I had enough of that when I was working night shifts at a place 30+ miles from home. Driving home in -19 temps in the middle of the night was concerning.
Things break in the cold.
Thank goodness, my old beater didn't mind cold weather.
The summer pasture wasn't full of tracks but the forest had many tracks. Deer had been browsing and making beds inside the woods.
Charlie didn't want to go with me for some reason, so I took Chippy.
Chippy rather enjoyed the adventure.
Well, there you go. There is the WI weather report for SW WI.
It's gonna be kinda cool.
Aw, come on, let the equine come inside for some toasted marshmallows! That's too cold for me! (Yea, I understand about thicker fur.) Linda in Kansas
