I rarely post to this list but got a kick out of this one Helen! :o) I've driven I-35 in one of your ice storms and it wasn't fun! I'll take 6 inches of snow over that any day. As for temperature changes, I'm in MN - on the 20th it was 50 degrees and sunny. Had ponies out lunging and doing other fun stuff (not with my pair though - they had taken off to the back 40 to play so I had the stallion and youngsters out). Today is the 24th - it didn't get above zero all day today. The ponies are covered in frost from their own breath and spent all day standing around soaking up the sun. Lewella I know = you guys think we're sissies down here, and laugh at us when we complain = about the cold. But when you have the sun shining one day with 60 = degrees and the temps drop about 40 degrees within a hour, there isn't = enough time for the body to acclimate properly and it feels PD cold. =20 The fun part will be when we have to walk over to the barn......slippin' = and slidin' all the way. The only ones enjoying this weather are the = geese, who make the rounds of our three ponds. =20 So to answer your question, I for one am NOT driving today. Anyone for = some horse conversation?
