Brrr......It's Cold out there!

Boy has the temperature dropped in the last 48 hours.  I'm one of those people that has been hoping and praying for the ground to freeze (mainly so we can finish up the corn harvest), but even though I've been wanting the colder air, it's still a shock to the system when it gets real cold for the first time of the season.  I had to go outside to talk with the tow truck driver that came to get the van today, and then again when I fed the dogs and it was very chilly out.  Definitely need to make sure I have my gloves and hat around for when I have to go out now.  I suppose a silver lining to December being so much warmer than normal, it did help with the heating bill.  But now we'll have to see what January and February have in store for us.  They are known to be rough sometimes.  I can say though that if it's going to be cold, it's okay with me for there to be snow......it's pretty.
