unrelenting cold and snow, Northeast

[Carol Dee]

a little olive oil and a dash of dried herbs and a 1/4 teaspoon of horseradish then roasted in the oven..the steak was a flat iron cut with just salt and pepper. had some buttered sourdough bread to go along with it.
oh my that was delicious.....

Go ahead, rub it in. But I am going to try that next time I fix some garden vegetables. Yumm.

dw found the idea of adding horseradish on pinterest..we have found quite a few good recipes on there and a few flops.

Yesterday was so beautiful here! Sunny, and the first day to break freezing since January 19th.
Now we are back in the deep freeze. Perhaps our lowest temperature of the winter overnight tonight, -we'll see. The extended forecast does show more normal temperatures next week.

I think we should know that Fairfield, ME has normal temperatures.

For today, they are:

39°f afternoon high, and
19° morning low *

* Based on data from 1999-present, according to wunderground.com (seems a little short-term)

Made tomato soup from Homestead tomato juice I canned. Added garlic, smoked sausage and sliced mushrooms, it was so good! Watched sleet and snow coming down, made the soup even better!

Gee, seems like some people will do anything to get in on the unrelenting cold and snow thread! It's okay @baymule , you can pretend you live in the north for a few days....then we expect you to get with it and grow some darn tomatoes!

I know exactly what you mean by how hot, wholesome soup makes you feel while the weather is miserable outdoors ت.

It was a bright, sunny 50° here this afternoon ... after matching Fairfield's normal low this morning. You could say we are having mountain weather with a range of 30° in so few hours of daylight.

The ice from the chicken water didn't have time to melt where I'd thrown it out on the lawn.

Did I miss something? Is baymule a northerner now? Hey seedcorn, I think you have company now.

Well yeah! She is 160 miles more north than she was....practically in Minnesota!

Those "normal" numbers give me hope! 29 below this morning. I hope it has bottomed out. High of 10 expected today. I am afraid to go confront the angry chickens.

In a way, especially with all this snow, it just feels like normal winter here, but DH pointed out that usually this is the time people start tapping the trees, -with nights below freezing and days above. It looks like that might happen next week....
