Cool 27F in SE S.D.
our first day of winter...
It is supposed to pass over by midnight, thankfully. Looks nasty out there.Freezing rain here too Rock. I hate freezing rain---when the 1998 Ice Storm hit, we were without power for 12 days. We found out how much water 6 dogs drink each day. It was not fun, even with a generator.
I "skated" out to the barn to give the girls their evening "cocktail" of warm water with a tsp of apple cider vinegar and some food before bed. I was afraid I would slip on the concrete slab/step outside the door and crack my head--being that I'm here alone, and Cliff, the Saint, doesn't get to go out to see the hens, I would have been SOL.It is supposed to pass over by midnight, thankfully.

I have already emailed the person who arranges spares to tell him that if this doesn't let up and I'm still "skating," I'm not making the trip into Ottawa to curl tomorrow night. I hate this weather!
-4 C (25F) and light snow. CWS4322's freezing rain is expected here later today. Weather is gonna have to come up with some better snow if we are going to have a white Xmas.
