This kind of cold rearranges matter. The winds blow snow into the Pole Barn, they froze buckets and manure to the ground, which is so cold the animals don’t leave the Pole Barn unless they have to. The heated water bucket is just outside the barn, we put hay in the water buckets, sprinkle old hay on the ground so they can walk in something warmer than snow. My camera shutter froze outside this morning, a good sign it was time to get inside.
