We are finally coming into a few days with nights above freezing. Even a chance of rain this week. It will be good to do some things outdoors without multiple layers of clothing!

Last night a light steady rain. It didn't measure much but I'm happy to for we can get.
We just went through a bloody cold spell of -30 C overnight. I was housebound for 4 days. Absolutely stir crazy! Can't wait for the weekend. -14 C is bloody balmy now!

California desert received more rain last night and through this morning. A light steady rain and sprinkling still. This is needed.

From Thursday 2/13 to this morning, we had 2 inches of rain. For the southern CA desert that is good amount of rain. Along with it were winds around 30mph with gusts to 53 mph. We sure could feel those strong gusts of wind. I'm very thankful everything stayed in place. Not very far from me, my friend lost a shelter. Luckily no horses were hurt.

22 degrees here this afternoon. We are expecting at least another 6" of snow tonight 
to be topped off with a couple of hours of freezing rain before daybreak....can't wait. It will also be below freezing over the next week with wind chills below 0. Not one to complain about winter, but this one has been so super cold. I live in northwest Connecticut which is in the Berkshire Mts., so we're use to the cold but, this winter I feel like I'm living in a tundra. Area in front of my barn where the horses and donks congregate is a sheet of ice. Can't wait for spring!!

Same weather we are expecting here. The wood stove will be loaded up and we have a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle in the works.22 degrees here this afternoon. We are expecting at least another 6" of snow tonight
Chill and a little breezy today but the sun was shining. Rusty got a brisk 1.5 mile walk. Tomorrow we may have another chance to be outdoors, but it's downhill after that.
We're finally coming to the end of another deep freeze. So cold. -31 C this morning, wind chill feels like -40 (and that's the same C or F!) But Thursday it starts to warm up again and we'll have highs above freezing by the weekend or early next week.
Thank goodness!!

We are also coming out of an awful polar vortex that tormented us for about 10 days with lows in the negative 30’s and highs of 0 or 4 above. This whole month has been a cold one and the vortex was a real challenge.
The ponies and our donkey Madelaine are doing well and as of Friday our weather has been warming up. Today we are expecting to reach 40 degrees above 0, which is 70 degrees warmer than last Monday.
Other than checking and caring for everyone In the barn, ponies, donkey. old horse, barn cats, there hasn’t been any play time.
Plus my husband has been in the hospital, followed by short term cardiac rehab for the past 4 weeks. He is coming home this week prior to returning to hospital next week for another procedure. After that, it should be all outpatient rehab. This has been complicated by the hospital being in Duluth, which is a four hour round trip from home. It is, however, an incredible hospital and we are very grateful for their care and expertise.
I look forward to our personal out patient rehab with the littles in the near future!
I do see shopping therapy in my future- all new halters, leads, grooming tools, and about 5# of chocolates.

You have a lot going on. I think your weather is beyond cold.We are also coming out of an awful polar vortex that tormented us for about 10 days with lows in the negative 30’s and highs of 0 or 4 above. This whole month has been a cold one and the vortex was a real challenge.

I'm so glad your husband is coming home and I sure hope everything will be well for his next procedure. Your personal therapy group will be the best for both of you. 
Saying prayers it warms up and settles down for you.
