Hahahaha.  I don't think that Crazy Ants can build ant bridges across the Sabine River.  Better order up a couple Anteaters just in case.  Whatever natural predator they have in South America, it isn't up here.  Before Texas kills em off (if possible), they should check to see if the Crazy Ants will eat Killer Bees.

Hopefully the melt will be gradual.  I'd hate to have another so-called "Flood of the Century" devastating the Mississippi River Valley this Spring

Robert, that's cold for there, you stay warm and safe. Heard Atlanta had lots of problems.

Well those ants sound bad but they will have to swim the Sabine River to get here unless someone brings them unknowingly. The temp last night was 17 or 18 down here in south Louisiana.

I am going out to the farm about every day feeding corn to deer and birds, rabbits and Coon.

-4 below zero here this morning. Very cold. Staying in the rest of the time with wife and knives.

You folks down south might have a lot fewer bugs this spring.  However, Texas has a relatively new invasive ant from South America that is wiping out even the fire ants, and I don't know if a hard freeze will reduce their population.

Robert, you have some time to prepare as these new ants, called Crazy Ants ( Nylanderia fulva ).  They don't fly so it will take them a while to crawl to Louisiana - unless people from Texas visit you.  They don't bite like fire ants, but unlike fire ants that stay pretty much in their mound in the yard, Crazy Ants will invade the house, live in the walls and you have to treat for them every couple months.

Just to and from work, essential shopping and shoveling the drifts out.  The drifts seems to reform about every night.  It was 11 degrees this morning in Chicago.  Felt like Spring!

Anyone venturing out in all this cold weather? I am fixing a broken water pipe at my mothers house and feeding the birds. That's about the extent of my outdoor activities.

There is more snow on it's way tomorrow. The poor birds that come down here for the winter, may be in trouble. I usually put out old bread and bird seed for them, when the weather gets this cold.

Yep, we're having an extra cold winter. I think most people are having a cold winter. It helps our deer hunting. They move a lot when it's cold.
