I think most farmers hope and count on some warmish days peppered throughout the late fall and early winter to finish hunkering down before the deeper cold and snow arrives. Today in the uplands the temperature is pushing 50 degrees with no wind. One is able to get out and grade the road, fuss with the truck, and move around outside without having to pull your head in like a turtle.
For farmers with animals, the warm up provides an opportunity to check and repair fence and feed with relative ease. The rabbit hunters were out today and the dogs sounded happy as they ran around the hills. A big skillet of braised wild rabbit with root vegetables would be nice on a chilly post-solstice night.
