10° here. Gave the horses Xtra hay. Tomorrow I have an appt to get my truck worked on, the forecasted high is 4° with -25° wind chill... should stay home, but beside replacing the cab light, I made an appointment with a company to get my windshield replaced while it's at the dealer. The windshield is cracked the whole way across the bottom (Chuck did it) hope it doesn't shatter when I'm driving tomorrow.

Well we are up to -6 at high noon !!! Bright sunshine , I guess the record of -27 last night is the new record .
This weather is rough on everything Man and beast ,steel gets more brittle the colder it gets making easier to bust shocks and springs on our cheap vehicles ,lol. I must be getting to be an old grouch .

Rex, how did your daughter make out with her car? I'm not happy with the guys I bought my truck from. I had it in for repairs and the service guy put my seat back hard enough that he put off my fire extinguisher. He thought it was funny, but I told him I'd get all my stuff out of it and bring it back so they could get it cleaned up.
3° here now.
