Cold, zero all day, 10 below in early am. Sue and I went to church and Sunday School, Koerners, LaVerne's, Wayne's here for dinner. I went to church at nite, took Young's home after.
Comment: That old house was freezing cold at those temperatures. Probably below freezing all through the upstairs level. Heating cables and strategically placed light bulbs kept the water lines from freezing. We also used extension cords to place lighted bulbs in the engine compartments of the cars, trucks and tractors so they would start in the morning. Inside the barn would be relatively warm from the cow body heat but the hay mows on the upper level would be freezing. By this time in 1966, the house was relatively much warmer because of increased insulation and newer windows, but it was still pretty drafty....
