I ended my "hibernation" today, going into Mt, Pleasant. That was the first time I'd left home for 4 days (too cotton-pickin' cold). Prior to leaving I observed 7 deer walk across my front yard, like they owned it! I would guess that was probably the first time out of the protection of the cedar trees in my pasture ground since it got so cold..
I never heard how cold it was in Mt.Pleasant Thursday night, But according to channel 6 in Davenport, it was colder in the Quad-cities than it was at the north or south pole! by 3 to 5 degrees! According to Moline Airport, a new record cold temp. was set, But officially, it was 1 degree short of setting a new record - I guess it depends on who you believe.
I had my waterline freeze, but I don't feel too bad about it. I talked to Adam Raub at Hy Vee today and was informed His NEW house had pipes freeze too. Today wasn't too bad - it got up to 31 degrees for a high today,and we got just a touch of snow this evening.

It's been really cold here in Michigan, too...we are finally up in the 20's today after about a week in the single (and below zero) digits!! Feels almost balmy out there today! Take care, Charlie, and stay warm!
I'm glad you didn't try thawing those frozen pipes with a torch like Connie's friend up in Britt!
