Winter of 1986 or 1987. Ohio - I was in high school. Wind chill factor of about -60. It hit Christmas eve. Harvest was late that year and we weren't through winterizing the farm yet. We had had a 100 cows to milk and about 150 head of other stock to look after. We went about 56 hours with no sleep trying to keep pumps going, automatic waterers running, and cows milked. Our Christmas "celebration" consisted of a 45 minute hot meal for lunch Christmas day......It was pure misery!!!!
