It's just above freezing but may dip down to 31 for an hour. It should happen very soon if it happens tonight.

The Farmer's Almanac will go away next year from what I've heard as of yestidy.

That's what I heard.  It's a bit confusing because the Old Farmer's Almanac (since 1792) is going to stay in business.  It's the Farmer's Almanac (since 1818) that is going out of print next year. 

I know I have been confused by the difference in names but the Old Farmer's Almanac is the little yellow book that I think I am familiar with from my childhood.  I wish my folks were still alive so I could ask them.

I thought there was only ONE Farmer's Almanac, the Old one. The one that predicts the weather right a year ahead of time better than the NWS does a week ahead of time.

Nope.  There are two.

Not for long! But, now I know.

5:30 AM it's dark and cold outside.  24 degrees and likely will dip a bit more before sunup.

Time to feed the horses. 

Adder:  It was 23 when I had to feed the equines.

Not too bad ATM. Low 30s, just above freezing. But we had about 5" of wet, hard-packing snow. My weather app says it feels like 25, but I didn't think it felt that bad earlier in the afternoon.

Well, it's up to 31 right now.  It's not going to get more than a degree or two warmer if at all.  Snow flurries now.

This is supposed to happen late January.  I'm not ready for this now!
