This photo was taken at 1 p.m., during the "warmest" part of the day. At feeding time this morning, the needle was on the zero. (That's the barn in the background.)

Poor Hank was shivering this morning, until I wrapped him in some old fleece sheets that I added to his growing arsenal of blankets (sorry, no picture of how cute he looked cuddled up in those blankets ~ it was too cold to take the camera down this morning!).
I have warm clothing, too, but the best things for me on a day like this are these:
