When the weather is real cold and soaking wet I have 4 1000 lb steers I let in the barn to get out of the weather. I clean the barn at each feeding, twice a day when they are allowed in. I don't need a pitch fork when it's this cold, frozen pies I just pick up and throw in the manure pile. Their water tank is a 150 gallon tank that just holds maybe 25 gallons now. Frozen bottom, sides and I keep busting the top out that keeps getting smaller and smaller.

My shy dog knocks on the door wanting to spend the night inside instead of chasing armadillos.

When my weather station freezes up and will show neither wind speed or direction. When the cow patties are just like large rocks in the driveway.

When you spit and hear the ice hit the crusted over surface of the snow.

When the snow blocks the rain gauge. (It's a central Texas thing only.)

If outside today, the cooler is used to keep the beer from freezing. :D

We usually go wheeling on 1 Jan. The gang woosed out today. Most of the buggies don't have heat and only a few have a windshield. I wanted to send out a few teasing texts about the manhood of those involved. But I chose to just quietly let it go. This is the first 1 Jan in several years we haven't wheeled.

Trying to drive off in the morning only to find your tyres have frozen to the ground (we do get snow above 800m).
