I think the worst is over. The chickens survived the night in their coop. The wind was howling all night. Temperatures dropped to -15. We woke up to no water, but Sam solved the problem quickly. A drafty area in the utility room allowed cold air to blow over a pipe. A piece of cardboard to block the draft, and a little use of the heat gun solved the problem. The house stayed pretty warm with the woodstove, although it took some time to get it comfortable this morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We couldn’t stay at the observation area at Tidal Falls for more than a few minutes before our faces started to hurt. And taking a photo was very hard on the hands. But – so beautiful. A flock of ducks took off from the surface of the water just before I took this photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
