We got the forecast cold (-9F) but not the forecast snow. There is an inch or so of new snow, just enough to make things look pretty. We were slightly concerned when the lights flickered several times last night before we went to bed, and I was reassured to wake up in the middle of the night and find out that we still had electricity.
The horses, viewed from the house this morning, look fine. Hap is doing airs above the ground while Rags sees what he can find in the outside hay feeders. I threw hay to them in the barn yesterday afternoon, and called down blessings on whoever invented stock tank heaters. I can’t imagine taking care of horses during a cold snap like this without stock tank heaters.
Here is sunny So Cal we’re experiencing a cold snap – 60’s in the daytime, 30’s at night.
