Pine Needle Cold

You can tell by looking at the pine needles when it is below zero. They take on a blueish cast and hang down , on the white pines.

We are in for an arctic blast. We had seven inches of new snow yesterday (dig, dig, dig) and now we're in for a stretch of days which may not see above zero in the day time.

All new straw, fluffed up for all today. The thinner dogs have coats on. Four dogs are in the house. The chill is coming right through the logs of the house, so we're in for it.
