31. We only got down to 15 below last night, and we might hit a high of 6 above today.

The chows loved this kind of weather, but the 2 smaller dogs, a smooth coat JRT and a pom/mini beagle cross, rush out and back in within minutes! Every hour or so. I don't think they have to pee that much, but they run around the house a couple times to burn off excess energy. Although I had to shovel a path to the porch for my stove delivery this afternoon, I don't go out in these temps any oftener or longer than necessary.

This is grilled cheese and tomato soup lunch weather!
