I reckon that was the winter of '81-'82, I remember it well, spent it feeding 1,000 head of cattle alone,
on a ranch without a heated building to warm-up in. By the time I got home at night, my body temp
would be in the mid-nineties. When your brain cools of that much, you begin to hallucinate, and that's scary.
80 head of cattle just laid down and froze to death that winter,

I forgot that all the farmers and ranchers went around helping each other out. That part was awesome

That would really, really suck the big hairy one. I know it was rough. We didn't have that many cattle, they were split amongst family, but everyone lost heads that year including us.
That was the most miserable winter of my life, so far
That which doesn't kill us, does make us tougher and wiser.
I did acquire a good batch of tales that winter, that I lived to tell.

We have a foot on new snow on the ground, the forecast for this weekend, -19 deg. F Sat., -21 deg. F Sun.,
but it still beats the heck out of living under the thumb of Dumbocrats.

Moving is never to late I have lived in Georgia for over 30 yrs the weather is mild we have snow maybe every 6-7 yrs it does get cold but nothing like snow past your knees. Depending where you live you get different weather Georgia mountains are beautiful from my house 2 hours. People are friendly. Cost of renting about the same as anywhere and housing to buy depends what you want it goes from(4-5 B 3B) for 350, to 450,000 or (3B 2B )245-265 thousand less closer to small towns Like everyone here there are plenty of options if you want to move u should do it sooner rather then later. Rentals are outragious because corporations are buying them up to rent out they love buying in subdivisions we have a very diverse community older middle and some with grade school and new parents. very quiet so we cover it all . Hope you find your nest I'm 25 miles from bigger town but only 2.5 miles from freeway so 15 minutes to get to town I have deer sleep in my back yard we are having an up tick in foxes and such

I'd just add a parka over my coveralls and another log on the fire. Unfortunately, my old hippie dude said absolutely not. He doesn't like it THAT cold. Lived too long in Alaska

Where you lived in New Mexico sounds like Klamath Falls where I came from . Large portions of the town are little Mexico now .
It seems that's happening everywhere there. I'd hate to be living in Phoenix again right now, either

Sounds beautiful. That's just a little too far from hippie dudes family, tho. They are all in OR so just going to have to be patient and hope all gets better soon, if we aren't in WW3
