Weather turmoil…

I don’t recall hearing about  frost quakes  before,  but they appear to be an interesting phenomenon.   Our Canadian cousins are welcome to them,  just as our British cousins are stuck with more  dreadful flooding,  which does produce some spectacular photographs.

The USA isn’t exempt from bad weather either —  just look at this  wind chill map  from the Drudge Report.   Even the Deep South is in the deep freeze tonight.   I brought in a few tender plants,  but my citrus has been watered and fertilized to a fare thee well,  then wrapped up against the wind and cold.   The wind cuts through whatever you have on,  unless you’re Big Girl,  whose three layers of hair and feathers make her impervious to the air temperature.   I will have to call her in when it’s bedtime,  and her hair will be cold to the touch,  but the pads of her feet will be quite warm,  as will her skin if I go to the trouble of digging through all the hair to get to it.
