Last night's forecast was that the temps would drop to -6 with a -40 degree wind chill factor. OK that's too dang cold. Some of you have never had the pleasure to experience COLD so here's some 'COLD' weather terminology.
Freezing Rain
Rain that freezes when it hits the ground, creating a coating of ice on roads, walkways, trees, and powerlines.
Sleet
Rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet also causes moisture on roads to freeze and become slippery.
Winter Storm Watch
A winter storm is possible in your area. Turn in to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for more information.
Blizzard Warning
Sustained winds or frequent gusts to 35 miles per hour or greater and considerable amounts of falling or blowing snow (reducing visibility to less than a quarter mile) are expected to prevail for a period of three hours or longer.
Frost/Freeze Warning
Below freezing temperatures are expected. |

Heck, you know it's cold when you look out at the coop and the chickens have put on their Norwegian wool sweaters in the End of the Rainbow Valley...
Did you really put sweaters on the chickens? You crack me up!
ReplyDeleteNo, these are not my girls. But they sure are cute, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteWhose chickens are they? This picture intrigues me. Your followers in Arkansas want to know more. Where do the chickens live? Where do you buy chicken sweaters?
DeleteThis chicken pic was an internet share even though I do have Rhode Island Reds that live in a little unheated chicken coop and would really appreciate a little more heat.
ReplyDeleteOh yah, but have you ever tired to put those little boots on them??? Not easy!
