50 for the low today and 67 high. The sound of lawnmowers and the smell of fresh cut grass was everywhere. Water temp in the greenhouses was 73*.

Wow, grass being cut, that's not something I've heard or smelled for a long time! We still don't have any of the rain that was predicted to start earlier this afternoon, so I'm hoping it isn't holding back until late when the temps drop below freezing and come in snow. Wait, snow would be just fine, as long as we don't get anymore than about 6"! I'm ready for a nice pretty snow. :)

They are saying up to 3 inches here today, we will see. The last snow fall they said a trace and we got 2 inches (melted darn fast) but sure was pretty while it was here.

Woke this morning to maybe 1/4" on my deck, but none sticking anywhere else. Ground is just too warm. Looks like it is all past here, too, so that's it. Darn! I really want to see a nice snowfall. After all, I put up that snow fence. LOL Need to see if it does any good, or if I need to shift it north or south or angle it for next year. :) Good news is I'll be able to drive my car today, so truck gets to stay home once again.

Temp is 32 this morning, and I was somewhat surprised to see a skim of ice on my pond. Guess the water on top finally got cold enough. Supposed to be only 28 this Sat for a high, and teens for low, so bubbler went back on this morning. Also removed the floating "dolphin" thermometer and brought it back inside.

Very cold this morning, about 14 at 7 am. Sunny, which is nice, but VERY windy! Sucks to have to do things outside, but put on coveralls and winter coat, and I'm good to go! Actually stayed outside longer than planned, since didn't get chilled. Moved round bale out for horses (they said "thanks!") and added few more zip ties to my snow fence. Still no snow to speak of, though.

Haha! I had no ice yesterday evening on my pond, but by this morning it was over 1" thick. Used floating heater to open hole, then turned on pump to open it wider (pump as bubbler works cheaper than heater, I figure). Now have 4' wide hole, so pump is off, Will see how long it takes to freeze over again. Figure no need to leave them on.
