We have a bell in a tree that signals a windy night/day. It is clanging away. The temp is minus four right now and predicted to reach minus twenty or more again tonight, up to minus forty windchills.
The toll (other than the tolling bell ) of this weather:
8 coats have been eaten : Quattro (blue, new), King, (green, recycled)(swallowed the WHOLE coat), Martin,(new blue), Yuki, (tan recycled), Matilda,(yellow, recycled), Ruby,(red, new) Lillen, (red, new), Frita (red, new) (most of these are racers who should know better). Just a reminder that these dogs are wolfy ('wolf' down their 'things' so others can't have them, territorial about their coats? or just don't want them). Not so great for digestive tracts: cordura, velcro and fleece.
15 bales of straw have been distributed, for houses, for nestling.
Yuki took a hit of who knows what on her side, looks like she was scalped, but not bleeding, so she got a trip to the vet. About four inches long, one inch wide. We have a wrap for her and a new coat (hope she still has the coat in the a.m.)
Cooking twice a day for them: meat and rice for breakfast (with kibble); meat/rice for soup, p.m.
Machines are all still starting up.
Next week: meltdown predicted... NO, NO, we have great trails right now.
Photo: YO, with early a.m. icing, minus twenty.
