The temperature is 24 degrees, with a 15 MPH north wind. It's raining, although I have no idea how much due to the rain gauge being frozen. With the accumulated ice, it's slicker than snot on the driveway. Tomorrow's low is suppose to be 19 degrees & the next day they're saying 15 degrees.

Made a big batch of Pryaniki (Russian honey spice cookies) that I'll bake tomorrow.
Grandson came to feed the cattle for us.

Yesterday morning, it was a nasty 17 degrees with a 7 MPH wind. Needless to say, we didn't do much of anything... Our grandson came to feed the cattle for us.
Its a chilly 26 degrees this morning, but at least the wind has died down. It got up to 61 by the end of the day... too late for me to do anything.

Our rescue group recovered a boat yesterday with two teenagers aboard. The were in a very dangerous place, especially in the winter. Hypothermia has taken several lives in this area. They weren't even close to dressed or prepared for a 32-degree night. After tearing their asses up and educating them we pulled them to safety
