Location: The best kept secret in TX | It's Currently 28 degrees in North Texas... 0.o
We have a chance of SNOW this week as well... My horses haven't had time to grow a coat and I haven't had to buy a better jacket for myself... Our heater isn't working in our Tack Shop office and I can see my breath sitting at my desk...
I feel like I'm being a baby shivering over here...
How cold is it where you are!? Did it gradually get cold where you are or did it pull a bipolar TeJas and BAM cold?  |

| South Texas, Corpus Christi area, its 40 with a 20mph wind. Sounds warm, huh? But, we should be in the high 70's to mid 80's and it's not unheard of for the random 90 day. I do feel bad complaining though, considering what everyone north of us is having to put up with.  |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | It is 4 below where I am right now. We were 60 on Sunday. We knew it was coming so we were able to get everything ready. We have not been above freezing since Sunday night and have about a week left of it before it gets a little warmer.
It is to cold to snow here right now. I would be more than happy to take a bunch of snow if it would just warm up a little bit.
Forgot to add I am in Northeast Wyoming.

Location: Oklahoma | I'm in SE OK and I've actually been very proud of myself these past couple of days! I made it in 45 degree weather with just a long sleeve button up shirt on Tuesday and yesterday I walked around in the 35 degree weather in my Carhart for 2.5 hours and was fine (normally I'd have about 3 layers, gloves and a hat!).... today I walked out with just a pullover sweatshirt and it was 30. I'm trying to up my tolerance because I've always had none for the cold weather!!
But, I will say.... last night I probably set a world record for putting on BOT quick wraps. I had both horses feed out and all four wraps on in probably about 90 seconds!! |

Wimp right here too! Getting out of bed was rough this morning. I think it said 24 at my house this morning when I went out to feed. The horses were glued to the round bale, so I think they're adjusting way better than me! |

Location: Montana | It was -14 F when I first got up this morning, and it is -12 F now here in north central Montana. But at least the sun is shining. I'd kill for some 28-30 degree weather about now! So all I have to say is "CHICKENS!"  Just kidding.
Heck, I've been planning a vacation to Florida ever since this cold snap hit...don't know if I'll be able to go, but it is fun to plan!

And I was happy because the past couple of days have been windy, so I haven't had to scrape frost off my car. I think I might be   |

It was 29 this morning and my Weiner dogs and Doberman were not having this cold. It's now 35 and windy and I am having to MAKE them go out to potty. They would certainly not be happy campers if they were in -20. |

They have blankets with belly bands and baby socks to go out, but weenies are babies! One only gets three socks on though, so one foot will get cold and he can't run away!

| Wow, y'all are way tougher than I am. I don't do cold well, neither do my horses. I am in the Houston area, we were in the 30's last night, very windy. My 20 year old was blanketed and still shivering to stay warm. He has shelter and all the hay he wants, he can't afford to burn the calories so bringing him in tonight. Suppose to be back in the 70's next week :) |

Omg!! I want to see pics!!!! My poor weenie hasn't had it too bad this year, but she cracks me up with her intolerance when it does get really cold. I don't make her stay out any longer than she needs to, but she'd like for me to just keep the door wide open so she doesn't have to wait for .00001 of a second! |
