Across America, the cold and snow continues.
An interesting shot from irishlady, of an Amish buggy, precise location unknown, that looks like it ran into a bit of trouble in the recent spell of harsh weather. Stay warm everyone!

Amish housewives have quite the workload. Â They do get some help in managing the household, though. Â Amish homes often feature modified appliances, built to run on power sources other than public electricity. Depending on what is allowed in a given church, you might see an air-powered mixer, or gas-powered refrigerator. Â Wringer-style washing machines are common.
