Yeah. I was watching that on the news last night. That's a disaster. Produce is going to be expensive for a while.

This morning they reported milk with be on the $$ rise as well due to the lack of natural feed from farm fields. Cows will be feed purchased hay which is apparently on the $ rise too. Of course, this is cali so I would imagine there are even worse issues elsewhere.

Well the sun is shining here today even though it's only 24 degrees. I think I'll make it another day.

is the most sought after item for ranchers in this part of the US.

What's worse is that the drought had already made hay scarce, but the winter blast has made it even more rare. Ranchers are selling off their herds since it is less expensive than trying to obtain hay/feed for the herds.

Today is the first day since last Thursday/Friday that the temp has been above freezing, Too bad that will be short lived.

I saw that. How awful. It's pretty cold here (yesterday I think the high was 25 or something, low at night around 10), but I'm used to it. I feel bad for you guys who aren't.

We're starting to thaw - the ice and icicles coming off the roof of our office sounds cool - and it looks like it's raining, w/ everything dripping. However, anything turning liquid now could re-freeze tonight.

But, damn, why don't people thaw their vehicles before driving them? I saw giant sheets of ice flying off rooftops and hoods of vehicles going over 35 mph. I was smart enough to keep my distance, and lucky I didn't get hit w/ anything!

*brrrrrrr! I actually have to wear something other than a tank top in my house in the winter! *

It's not that bad, we're not dying. For me it's like the winters in the place i grew up, and I hardly think 35 degrees or so will kill me.
But since we grow so much produce compared to other states, that part does suck really hard. That is gonna cost us.
It has been really sunny and clear, though, so that is pleasant.

35 degrees is virtually a heatwave for me!! I love reading these boards but a combination of the time difference and the logistics of getting a decent internet connection between here and the UK (where my internet provider is)make it pretty impossible for me to post. However I'm just about to leave for work and it is just around minus 25 degrees now (out of the wind). It will get a bit colder in a few hours time. You just don't know what cold is!

Does Stevie get played any further North than this?

We actually have some snow today! We hardly ever get any at all! I have to say it's a bit of a pathetic attempt but the kids were happy and we had a snowball fight before school this morning
