How's the Weather?

I don't know about where you live, but up here in the upstate, we're into the hardest part of winter.  That's the part when we don't ever see the temperatures above 20.

We pretty much just get used to switching out the chicken's water several times a day because it doesnt last but an hour and it's frozen solid.  

The snow is here to stay until the beginning of March.

Snowstorm-wise, we've had a mild winter thus far.  But the temps have been in the negatives and single digits now for three weeks straight with the occasional 17, 12, or 20 degree day.  

The sun has shone clearly about 3 days in the last month.  This was one such day.   

We take our daily dose of Vitamin D to make up for the lack in the sunshine.  Even if it was shining all day though, it'd still be too cold to benefit from it. 

A newer lady at church who moved up from Tennessee asked me "Is it always like this???"  

I said, "No, it's usually much worse.  This year is much warmer because of global warming." 

(that's a joke.)  :-) 

Despite the freezing cold temperatures, constant chapped lips and cheeks, and cracked and bleeding hands, I love the upstate weather.  The four seasons are beautiful.
