Re: [IceHorses] Re: i aint believin it
i have a pic somewhere of nasi in his first hurricane, i think he was a yearling. He was just SO mad, it was hilarious. All the other horses stood together under the pole barn with backs to wind and nasi stood out in it, side to wind, ears flat like he was just so OFFENDED the wind and rain would lash him like that haha. and it wasnt even a bad hurricane! It was blowing around 108 mph, which is about what calif is supposed to get from these storms I think! Janice -- yipie tie yie yo

I always look forward to the Clementines from Spain that become available here during the holiday season. I bought several boxes then they were gone and replaced by a Clementine 'knock off' from California. Not nearly as sweet and tasty. Sounds like you're having about the same weather as us in Ohio but we've gotten about 5 inches of snow since Tues afternoon. The weather radar show it all clear, but we've been getting snow flurries at our house all morning. We seem to have our own little environment up here on our hill. It's supposed to get to 50 and rain on Saturday. Even with (or because of) the driveway being plowed, it will be like an Olympic Luge. I'm so glad I didn't let my husband sell the Toyota 4 Runner when we bought the Prius, because the 4 Runner is the only thing that will get us up our hilly driveway when covered with some snow or worse yet semi-melted snow that has refrozen. I don't think a Zamboni can do a better job of getting a smooth surface. We still have gravel. Besides blacktop being outrageously expensive for a quarter mile long driveway, I'm afraid it will be worse yet. Since the drive goes through a wooded area we wouldn't get the benefit of the sun (like we see much of the sun this time of year anyway) melting the snow on blacktop. -- Anna Southern Ohio

Hi Janice >>> They are called satsumas, a little town where Jaspar and fox and gallant boy came from actually, used to grow satsumas in the fifties and were wiped out by cold but because of "new technology" they have a grove producing again and said they taste as good as they did in the fifties when they were famous for growing incredible fruit. I bought some of these last summer and wow were they ever good. The weather is very strange - what else is new. Supposed to snow here today - but it is sunny and about -1 C and then it will warm up to +4 C tomorrow and possibly rain - that is the worst because of the ice that it creates. I guess we all have different challenges. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
Re: [IceHorses] Re: i aint believin it
it is going to be 20 degrees tonight with a wind chill down in the teens, the coldest in years they say. Right now it is a wind chill of around 40 which is unusual for a bright sunny day. at lunch we chatted with a woman who flew in from Missouri yesterday for her vacation. She said when she woke up and heard the wind howling outside and opened the door at her beach rental she thought she was having a dream, that it was colder here than in missouri haha. In the morning i will try and bring my camer to work and take pics of the bay. Its very rare for salt water to have ice but the bay this morning had patches of ice and tonite is supposed to be even colder. I cant even imagine zero and below temps! When my daughter starts being a traveling nurse and goes somewhere cold i am gonna go stay with her during a blizzard. Our friends are in gatlinburg tennessee today on vacation and they are excited cause it may snow. I will send you some unbelievable tangerines. send me your real address. They are called satsumas, a little town where Jaspar and fox and gallant boy came from actually, used to grow satsumas in the fifties and were wiped out by cold but because of "new technology" they have a grove producing again and said they taste as good as they did in the fifties when they were famous for growing incredible fruit. We got some and oh my gosh they are out of this world! very sweet and easy to peel and seedless. I bought some tangerines from south fla yesterday and they were sour, hard to peel and full of seeds. also I need to get sophie some things at the jeffers yard sale. Dont be jealous Karen, if you get a little girl dog I will send her a present too and throw in something for frank :) Janice-- yipie tie yie yo

There goes the price of oranges through the roof! Janice, I don't know what's going on but we've had gale force winds here today (from the south) and now our temperature is -1C. It's great, but the horses have still been coming in to hind behind the wind fence to get a break from the blast. I hope you don't get too cold down there. Wanda
