(this is fairly typical for the area for January and February, though we often have bigger extremes - up to the 40sF in the afternoon, down into the negatives overnight)

We are down to minus 25 oc.
I know it sounds pretty cold but it really is lovely! its a dry cold not the damp cold as in the UK.
every thing is white and beautiful. its a bummer to keep filling up water buckets for the sheep other wise we are all warm and happy, happy, happy

We got home to frozen pipes and no water---my O.H. had only been away a day and a half ----luckily our good neighbour had managed to water the poultry---at least getting a good fire going to run the heating has cured any inside problems.
