Idaho is well below freezing with snow on the ground....below zero in the mornings.... :snowcool: Goats come out of the shed just shivering....
Well we have been in a deep freeze. I am not rel sure what is worse?
We live in WA, where it rains almost every months of the year... it has been freezing cold here the past week or two, and I want the rain and warmer temps back! :) Now it's snowing...
Wow! I dont know the temp. here but, wow Snow already, how is it already winter!! Wheres SUMMER?!?!?;)
No raining, just hard freezes. :(
We have had a lot of rain this week too....my goats do not know what to think...If it does not let up soon I am pretty sure the hooves are going to get webbed
Snow, ice, freezing rain in Connecticut!! I have this one Doe that keeps going out in the mess we are having. The others want nothing to do with it and they look at her like she is nuts... She came flying out of the barn this morning and went to jump on a spool, it was covered in ice and she went flying off!! She is my crazy one, plus she is in heat.
My goats wont go out at all, well unless its supper time then they come tearin out of the barn then running back in!! Lol :)
Not a goat to be seen in my yard. We got flooding, then snow and ice.

Yes i would rather have rain then freezing cold!!
Why cant it just be warm, my goats would love that lol :)
Me too anytime...
Here in eastern oregon it has been -25 and we r not used to that. As much as I hate rain I would rather the rain than freezing temp when I have babies due. They say it is suppost to warm up I hope so.

I hear ya .... Wilamette valley is blanketed with about 8 I of snow where I am at and was -8 yesterday morn and this am as well ... Got up To a balmy 24 this afternoon:) with average lowes I upper 30's this is brutal .... Brrrr
Looks like Connecticut right now with another storm on Tuesday.everyone will stay in the barn today and eat and eat and eat.
Update for SC: still rainin this am too:( but temp is above freezing!:)
It got down to 18 last night, and supposed to get down to 12 tonight. They are saying we could hit single digits with the low tonight :( Not looking forward to that at all.
Today mid/upper 30s, but tomorrow is supposed to be frigid.
I'm hoping to get a few things done in the barn today to get ready for kidding in a few weeks. Need to clean lights/check lights, put some OSB on the back of the stalls <back of the stalls are pallet wall/sleeping area on the other side>. That will help block drafts on newborns, etc. Oh, and it would be great to make some hay feeders in the stalls! I've been using the large corner horse grain feeders, it's great for the does, but babies will climb/play/ and poo in those!

Our low this morning was 10! YUCK! That's pretty cold for us as we usually don't get that close to the single digits very often. The cold is hitting us early this year, feels more like January weather.
It was only 29 today too.

Tomorrow will be in the 40s, mostly sunny and a slight chance of rain, but I know how those 30% chance of rain can go, heh.
Calling for freezing rain and snow tomorrow night, then rain on Saturday. I'm so tired of the cold rain. I think I'd much rather have snow.
It was nice today even though it was so cold - all the mud was frozen, and not such a pain to walk on!
