Just when you think it can't get any worse, the temperature drops even lower! Predicted lows for the next few days are between -40 degrees F and -50 degrees F and I know that when I left the house this morning, it was -50F. Dangerous cold, if you aren't prepared for it. And though I know my team needs to be out training, I just can't take them out like this. It would do more harm than good, so the bad outweighs the good. Hopefully some good will come out of this, by freezing all of the rivers. They've been open, which means the trail to Angel Creek hasn't been put in. However, a lot of the time, the cold creates overflow, so it could end up creating more problems. Good news is that temps are supposed to come up next week. Keep your fingers crossed and hope that we get more snow, as this cold is really brutal on water wells, pipes, etc. not to mention dog paws. Make sure your pooches have housefulls of straw, or bring them in if you have to. Don't leave bare skin exposed to the cold and be careful touching metal in this cold!! My son took his glove off to open the door, and nipped his finger. All it takes is a second to begin the freezing process. He's ok, but if he had held on longer, he could have really hurt himself.
Take care and stay warm!
