Falling Temperatures

Over night the wind died down just a little. The temperature this morning, however, was about 5.  Now the wind has re-exerted itself and the wind chill is likely in the negative digits.  In order to amuse those of you who do not reside in the Midwest or north of the famous Mason-Dixon line, the ambient temperature right now is 16.  Whew - I feel a heat wave.  So much for Global Warming, Al.

Actually, the sun is out and the kitties are confused.  BK keeps venturing forth, only to return in a short while.  Wind gusts are just keeping the day too cold for critters to be out and about.  Humane Society warnings abound on the news programs today.  Keep them inside and provide "insulated" cover for the feral cats.  My feral cat is quite content staying inside after his brief attempts to meander around the yard (has not been outside more than 5 minutes at a time).

Fish are likely at the bottom of the ponds. I think they are not moving much - sort of hibernating.  The flag is straight out again (see yesterday's post) and the gale has returned from the West.  Another good day to stay inside.
