This photo isn't from today, but I spent a good portion of my evening working on this piece of madness. Level 3 High Power Rocketry certification flight is in september and there is a lot of construction/planning/testing still to go.

@scooter It's been crazy here in MN just next door to you too. -20F this morning trying to keep the chickens and ducks warm and their water from freezing has been a challenge. Finally you and I get some reprieve over the next couple days.

Ohio in Celsius. After the sun was up!

Even Austin, Tx got some snow last night! Work was cancelled today due to icy roads. So a snow day with my son it is!

@jordanscollected , i thought you were likely in the same boat. When it gets this cold, you guys are usually 5°- 10° colder than us. Hang in there. Like you said, relief is coming...
-
@scooter It's not even laughable, it's downright dangerous to be outside.

@jordanscollected how do the horses fare in this weather? Any special precautions for them?
-
@motojobobo The horses eat hay to stay warm and we free feed them above the netting in their hay hut when it's this cold. They also grow really fluffy winter coats and that keeps them warm. Additionally they have 2 lean to's at our farm that they use to shelter out of the wind.
This is our first winter at the new farm so it's been a massive goal reached to have them in the backyard so we can keep an eye on them without having to drive to their previous boarding facility.
Last night I checked on them at 10 P.M. and it was -40F wind chill and neither of them were shivering.
We have horse blankets for them but don't use them unless necessary. The most important thing for horses to stay warm is to have a dry coat. The worst time of year for them is in the spring when they have begun to shed their winter coat and we get a cold rainy day, like 35-45F degrees. When their coat is wet they can't stay warm and then the blankets come out, preferably before the rain comes.
