This morning it is a balmy -8°F with a delightful SE breeze bringing a windchill of -26 and the promise of yeat another blizzard over night. Lovely, more snow to push around. Think I will break my record for snow heaps this winter. Expect spring sometime in 2012

These weary bones couldn't take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was 8F here last night and right now it's a balmy 13F. I hate winter.

Yeah, we were improvising with the leaves.

It rained last night, so the leaves are all mashed down now anyway. (It's 56 degrees outside as I speak - and tomorrow the high is supposed to be freezing and the low in the low-single digits.

).

We need to get more straw for the ferals - and that's a great idea to use them for us too.

We did put insulation board all around the outside of the RV to prevent wind from whipping through underneath, and we've got the wheel wells and the engine stuffed with R-32 insulation (stuffed into contractor bags to keep the insulation from getting wet).
