Cold, cold, frigid cold. 12 F outside right now. Alamosa is still at -6 F.
Still looking for warmer places. Maybe over by Las Vegas, NM, since Kirkland AFB has contaminated the greater Albuquerque area. Las Vegas has more precipitation per year than where we are now with average temperatures around 6 F warmer. But that is based on an old model of climate comparison, and as we all know, the climate is changing in unpredictable ways, so may be we will get lucky and the weather will be better all around. Or maybe the cold will follow me wherever I go....
The animals are all hanging in there, huddled in their barns. They come out when the sun shines, and thankfully the wind is not blowing today. The wind takes the temperature even lower with the wind chill thrown in.
We haven't had any eggs from our chickens in over a week. Too cold. Lucky we are learning how to bake Vegan for the kids. We did put lights in all the poultry housing, so maybe they will start laying again.
We are surviving the cold, and this week the forecast calls for higher temps, maybe even a few days marginally above freezing. Can't wait.
