Warm January

[rusty6]

I guess calling the high 20s warm might sound strange to those in warmer climates but its a good 20 or more degrees above what we normally get here in January. I took advantage of it to put the JD 2140 to work blowing some snow and also clearing some up with the front end loader. The three point hitch seemed to work better today after adjusting the rockshaft selector lever down a notch to the min' setting. The lever still creeped up if I didn't hold it down but at least it quit doing the random cycling it had been doing last time I used it. Cattle enjoyed the weather too.

There is enough January , February , March and April left for heavy winter weather to yet occur .

We have been pretty mild here in central Iowa also. Buick and deere, plenty of time for plenty of winter, yes. But every warm day is a day it is not below zero and the sun is creeping, or should I say, the earth is leaning into the sun now. gobble

Guess the heat would get to you here in Central VA,high in the 50's low around 30.Got some snow Sunday night all gone by mid morning.Cold enough for me.

 

[caterpillar guy]

Yup[ but every day that is like that is one less day of cold and winter. Spring will come soon enough.

After many trips around the sun one thing I've noticed is...spring in winter begets winter in spring. The other shoe will drop.

Its been a warm January thus far in Ontario too, right at freezing today January 10th in both Celsius or Fahrenheit, and the sun is shining too ! I am certainly not going to complain about any of it

Seems to be the trend the past few winters in southern WI.

Now that is a beautiful picture. Seeing calves laying on clean and dry straw comfortably is awesome! Calves look great by the way. Kow Farmer

Thanks, they are doing good. Hope to get some video of them tearing around kicking up their heels one of these days.

I'm not betting on it but I've heard people with that attitude. If we have it good now "we will pay for it later". Well maybe, but for now I'll just accept it as one more good day in January that could easily have been -30F but wasn't.
