I can't figure out what brand of critters they have piled up there.

Excellent shots, Roger. We had some freezing fog here a couple of days ago, it makes for great pictures.

Cool pics Cudgee.

After -2 degrees earlier this week, it hit 70 degrees, blue skies and sunshine here today, and folks were wearing shorts and T-shirts.

We finally got our water back on this afternoon, after going 7 days with no water. It was about as much fun as it sounds like it would be. Luckily we have good friends and neighbors who kept us supplied with water.

About half the folks out here have water wells, and the other half are pay a utility company. The utility company didn't fare so well with the cold weather, while most of my neighbors with wells didn't have many issues. I may have to look into getting a well dug.

Having said that, these were record low temperatures - the coldest since 1949 or so. Probably won't see them again in my lifetime.

The hills you see in the background are in Kentucky. The Ohio river is about 3/4 of a mile across the river bottoms. .

Yesterday the City said it is safe to drink.
Not entirely sure about that......
