**QuarterCowGirl** · 03-23-2008, 01:11 PM

It's -11 here, not too mcuh better, but I prefer it over -30!

cowgirlspurs · 03-23-2008, 04:52 PM

I can't stop shivering-I was out at the barn for 6 hours today waiting for my new horse to arrive (pics to be posted as soon as I upload them)...hot beyond hot shower and a hot pack on my back...I agree...crank it up at least 10 degrees please!!!

b-mark · 03-23-2008, 08:42 PM

Sunday night.. it's SNOWING HERE!!!!

rideabout · 03-23-2008, 08:55 PM

-16 here today, sun was gorgeous but still too darned cold, heard today colder than normal temps for next 4 weeks

Cowgirlspurs l got a new horse Friday, well she's not really new, l raised her from a baby, sold her almost four years ago, new owner was having trouble controlling her weight so she came back to us.

Man was l happy to see her, l missed her every day she was gone, but she is obese, poor girl is so fat, it's effecting her overall health. So she's on a diet and exercise program

Hopefully we can bring her back to good health.

Here's a pic of my fat girl ! Got any pics of your new horse ?

gingerfleguel · 03-23-2008, 09:32 PM

Yep it was sunny and C-O-L-D with some crazy wind going on the past few days

dreamcleaner · 03-24-2008, 06:23 AM

Spring is coming!!!! I heard we can expect it about August 15th. Winter to return I believe September 1. So make the most of it when it gets here!!!!!

Wouldn't put it past Mother Earth to screw around with us that way for what we have done to her planet. -20 this morning

cowgirlspurs · 03-24-2008, 06:36 AM

I have heard also that colder then normal spring-somebody has mentioned not to put your snow shovels away until May 24. Don't laugh-I have pics from about 2006 where it was snowing May 24 weekend-and there were apple blossoms on the trees

and wow...that mare sure is a little porker lol. I have pics posted on the meet the horses page under new girl in da house.

Slim Pikkens · 03-24-2008, 07:52 AM

A balmy -12 at 7 a.m., soon be time to haul out the summer wear. The warmer temps make the snow slippery and treacherous but my paths are now dusted with potting soil which makes for safer walking and is great for the environment. A $2 bag is still half full so I consider it very good value.

rideabout · 03-24-2008, 06:28 PM

Yes l heard colder than normal for next 4 weeks, than warmer than normal May / June, our weather has gone crazy, but have to admit right now, warm sounds good

gingerfleguel · 03-24-2008, 07:34 PM

uggghhhh Im so sick of winter.. I want to get out riding

cowgirlspurs · 03-24-2008, 07:57 PM

hmmmm seems like there is an Alberta Clipper headed our way for tomorrow..YEAH!!!

gingerfleguel · 03-24-2008, 08:01 PM

does that mean a potential SNOW DAY

dreamcleaner · 03-25-2008, 06:49 AM

Yup, storm coming in, up to 10cm. That's not so bad, before it was at least 10cm.

cowgirlspurs · 03-25-2008, 12:30 PM

Yeesh...it's here and what a miserable sight it is.
Where oh where is the sun?

Slim Pikkens · 03-25-2008, 01:18 PM

Wind picked up late yesterday and another dump of snow, about 4" of wet stuff, covering my paths. Now I cant even see them. Summer will arrive about the 10 of July and end in mid August as that is the only time my Arab is completely slicked out - three weeks.

rideabout · 03-25-2008, 04:01 PM

Miserable, miserable winter,

there's at least a foot of snow in my driveway, and still coming down. l can't even see the road from my window, snowplows can't keep up, roads and hiways are a mess.

Enough already, l think it's time to pack up and head south, l really do, now l just have to figure out

#1 - how to fit 7 horses in a 2 horse trailer,

#2 - how to fit 3 kids, a dog and a cat in the front of the truck with me

#3 Guess l could just leave a note for my husband telling him l've snapped and headed south.

#4 My destination , that ones easy l'll stop when the grass is green, the sun is shining and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WHITE STUFF IN SIGHT

So what does everyone say, shall we make it a CONVOY

dreamcleaner · 03-26-2008, 06:01 AM

Convoy!!! I'm with ya.

Another up to 10cm coming Friday.
