Hi Herb,, that storm picture you looked at was impressive and it did 
contain heavy rain and hail. I heard afterwards that a few miles 
northeast of me they got hit hard. I was lucky that time.
I know how your Dad felt re: the stress of harvest. I've got to the 
point where I tell myself I just don't care what the weather does. Just 
do my best and thats all I can do. One way to maintain my sanity in this 
business.
Feels like its warming up here today. After an hour or so of cattle 
chores, fixing gates, shovelling snow , etc. I was actually warmer than 
when I first went outside. Came in and checked the temp and couldn't 
believe it was still -18F. Must be low humidity that makes the air feel 
less cold.
