    I'm a high-school drop-out. Got my G.E.D. in the U.S. Army back in 1962. "The Mpemba effect is the observation that warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. ... Hence the faster freezing. Another is that warm water evaporates rapidly and since this is an endothermic process, it cools the water making it freeze more quickly." Maybe your pappy is paying you too much! LOL

    Back in '78, we had a bad blizzard come thru Ohio with a couple days of snow and wind. I was 11 and thought it was great to be out of school for two weeks. My oldest brother showed up with one of those snow blowers on a tractor and promptly deposited the entire driveway gravel and dirt into the backyard on his first attempt. Guess who had to spend his summer shoveling gravel and dirt into a wheelbarrow.

    I worked all of my adult live in the oil and gas business, due to the psi of the well and the cold temps, which didnt happen that often in texas, we would wrap a tarp around the well head and take a hose like Brian had, tie one end off so that it would hang near the well head and push the other end over the exhaust of pickup.

    BURRRRR lol I don't miss that white stuff at all lol I did the feeding and opening water on my uncle's ranch for 20 years in SE corner of Montana. I know first hand how much the cold gets to you lol I also know how much of a pain in the butt snow drifts are. But ya'll have it pretty bad for that where you are. I bet at least 80% of South Dakota is wide open prairie and rolling hills. I'll never forget the many years of feeding cows in -45 degrees and blowing like crazy. I think the coldest temperature I can remember that included the wind chill was 85 below zero. That day the way we got the livestock fed was with the old Farmall tractor that ran on propane. None of the diesel tractors would run. Thank God for smart ranchers who are prepared for such things.

    He had this 10 foot long flexible stainless steel pipe we used to stick on the car exhaust and run it thu the garage door so we could idle and run the car when working on it.
    Back when dinosaurs roamed and we had carburetors you had to do that.

      It is a fact that when they have their full winter coats on, they don't mind the cold until it starts getting below 18 degrees F. Then you need to feed them a little more so they can burn it to provide more body heat. In every pen there is ample wind breaks provided to help keep them warm.
