Minus seven overnight. Minus five at 9 am. It has not risen above minus three all day.
Even teh surface INSIDE the barn is frozen!

My sympathies. The worst part is the frustration of taking proper care of the horses. That's where my heated buckets came to be so useful. Fortunately, SO FAR, the water spigot in the barn has not frozen. It's kind of a gravity feed thing so the water drains back down below ground level when it's shut off. (I need to make sure the hose is disconnected.) I am just keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way.

Sending you WARM wishes as I await a snow/sleet/rainstorm over the next day or so. *sigh*

Rain on frozen ground - broken leg conditions! Horse or human!
