just hoping friends and their hounds are okay. we have schools closed all around northern illinois. and our coldest temperatures are going to plummet even more. wind chills to -30 to -40 below due tonight and into tomorrow. i'd advise moving hounds into sheltered area for a few days. or possibly put two in one house. better to be safe than sorry. keep warm....

i don't know if i'll last up here till hubby retires...LOL!!! BBRRRRRRR!!! where is global warming now???? LOL!!!

i took this here at the lake on new year's eve day. couldn't believe the geese were even flying around. since last thursady evening...we have been hit really continuously. some of the worst i've seen up here in a while. going to be alot of flooding this spring thaw.

with the economy is such bad shape, the winter heating costs are just going to add to the misery. i know people are selling hounds and puppies because the weather isn't helping them any to keep them hunted or trained. you start to worry about the wildlife in such weather conditions. even my regular ms bugs bunny hasn't been around to eat my bushes. LOL!

and that same lake is covered in ice n snow and nothing moving around there now.

LOL! we now have more than 6"s to 8"s from last friday. and more on the way. christmas has passed..."the coming of the three kings" is gone...this can now stop. i need to take a photo, so when i get a weak moment and "decide" to stay in illinois, it will offer a brain fart and pass away....LOL!

this still don't compare to feb of 80 or 81, we had -30 with wind chills reported of 70-90 below..that was a very ruff week for farming..i stayed up off/on for 36 hrs, slept in the barn on straw bales and poured hot water over the drinking cups every hr so the cows could drink and keep the valves from freezing up...i would have to stand in the milk house for 20 min just to get my ski mask thawed out enuff to pull it off my head!!!oh yes, the good old days!!! the cow manure froze to the barn cleaner paddles before it made it's way up the chute to the manure spreader...

Black ice on the roads here has been wicked in the mornings. Schools are two hours late tomorrow. -20 right now but supposed to go to -30 like Chris said. Wind is sure moving the snow out in the open country. We'll stay under blankets tonight and listen to the house framing pop and clunk with the cold.

john duemmer...we could sure tell some tales of ol "irish road". you still able to hunt around there? we use to like going to "hoche's place". is the peach orchard still across the way as well? i know there were grape vineyards. learned my lesson real fast about them. i think they have built in ex-lax power! LOL!

western new york, lockport, wilson, newfane, have always had snow n cold. ever see or hear anything on joe moll, black & tan fella? how about dave's ol buddy roger "trader" taylor? LOL!
