Anyone who lived through the winter of 2014 remembers the
incredible amounts of snow we had here in the Great Lakes area. I’d hoped for a better winter in 2015, but
this was the year of extreme cold. There was bitter cold everywhere, ridiculous amounts of snow in the Northeast, snow cover on over half of the US, the Great Lakes were frozen solid, and there were ice storms from Texas to the
Carolinas. Anyone with an unheated barn
dealt with frozen buckets, snow drifts near the doorways, and layers upon
layers of clothing to keep warm despite negative temperatures and arctic wind
chills. Deanna Miller calls it winter
hell, and there isn’t a better term for it.
So this week’s theme salutes all those horses with names like frozen,
blowing, cold, winter, drifting, arctic, frosty and hell.
