cold, snow, closed schools

Today is november 19, 2014.  Yesterday evening the temperature at the farm was 13 degrees F at 10:00 pm, this morning it was 10 degrees F.  

We have had small amounts of snow already on a couple of occasions, yesterday it caused the schools to be closed here.  

Yesterday the temperature did not rise above 30 degrees F.  Those days can be difficult because you need to make sure that all of the animals on the farm have access to nice clean water, not a block of ice.

Over the weekend I rescued one of our fourteen baby ducklings.  Ducks absolutely love water, even baby ducks.  However, if a baby duck jumps into a water pan and then lays down on a frozen surface, it will freeze to that surface.  Not good.  The ducklings are all doing well.
