January 23, 1963
Wed Warmer, cloudy, snow starting in the afternoon and contiuned part of night. 6 in evening, very cold wind came in -12 and windy. Drifting snow. I worked on Carols dress in the P.M and evening. Clifton went to Stamford with Bob Laux in am to see about a job. I wrote to Marilyn.
Comment: Wow, minus 12 and very windy. Sure would hate to take out the manure in that weather. Barn would have been freezing, tractor and manure spreader would have been parked in the dairy portion so the tractor would start. The cattle body heat would raise the temp in the dairy portion to about freezing if the doors were kept closed. The hay mow would have been frigid when we went up to throw down the hay bales. Probably would have had to jump or roll start the cars and/or trucks. All in all, probably a pretty miserable day on the farm.
