Wow, I only thought it was cold outside on January 25. Now with trees loaded with ice and a light snow falling along with the temperature, and it looks like we’ll have a low of 17 degrees tonight. I occasionally hear the snap of tree limbs cracking and falling on the golf course behind our house. I haven’t seen any large branches down but there are lots of small limbs littering the ice covered ground. I threw out some stale bread for the birds and dropped some pistachio nuts under the trees for the squirrels. I feel sorry for them trying to find food in this weather.
Dogs hate ice-covered ground. It’s been quite a day trying to get them to do their business as it’s so uncomfortable for them to walk on icy grass snapping under their paws. Cats love icy weather as it’s the only time they get to come in the house. But then Dogs entertained themselves whenever I was distracted by chasing cats through the house. Grrrrr….
