Wow, that's COLD. I hope you had some hot cocoa when you got in!
We've even got ice here! It was in the mid-60s yesterday and by midnight it was below 30, I guess the windchill is in the teens. Which is really so much warmer than y'all's weather! But we don't have the right clothes for it. Going out to take care of all the animals (including a trek through the icy pasture), I wore my pajamas, plus overalls, plus a hoodie, fleece jacket, and my huge Who scarf wrapped around four times, but the wind was still FREEZING! And my toes fell off. Almost.
I think the whole eastern 2/3 of the country had that sudden drop! Crazy.
Our dogs actually have good dog houses, and Gitta is some kind of Northern breed mix, so she just curls up like a Husky with her nose under her tail and is so happy. The pit bulls we've been feeding aren't as well off, though, their coats are so thin! But they found a warm dry place in the barn. The one I worry about is the horse - we've got an insulated blanket on her, but no livestock barn, and she won't go in the lean-to (which is dry and out of the wind) unless I lead her, and then she won't stay. It would be okay if it wasn't *wet*. But they've made it through before. :) This seems to happen at least once a year.
