Our weather has been very cold with overnight temps falling to single digits almost every night and often much further than that. Yet, after a lengthy time to thaw the manure, I saw one of the more beautiful sights one could ask for - heavy steam billowing from the manure bins in the moonlight. Temperatures of -15F and yet we have a bin temperature of 150F. So all is well and perking away, even though spring remains unsprung and there is no sign that it might ever arrive.
