I met a friend for coffee and a chat regarding the state of world affairs and to catch up on the gossip particular to our area. When I arrived he was idly paging through one of the last remaining newspapers, except he was paging through it backwards. I thought that a bit strange and asked him about it. Well he says, the bad news to capture reader’s attention is all at the front of the newspaper and the good news and pleasant stories are all at the back. I prefer to spend the little time I have for browsing newspapers reading pleasant news and not the latest bad news, so I read the newspaper backwards.
The North American Prairies is currently going through another “extreme cold” period with temps of -30 Celsius and winds of more than 10km/h making a combined wind chill and temperature of over -40 Celsius. Of course the good news is this is not uncommon for us so we know what to do, or more precisely what not to do to survive. It can be summed up succinctly by my Grandfather saying “Extra food and stay close to the fire!”
We are thankful as we have no war going on here and no earthquakes destroying our homes and infrastructure. Just keep the machinery used to support your cattle in a heated shop so it will start and put out extra feed for the cattle while watching for animals down or exhibiting pneumonia symptoms from the rapid temperature change. Extra feed and bedding in the shelter of the wind break or the barn will keep the hay burners content. Hopefully the severe weather will break before calving season late in March.
