Jan 23, 2010: Coyotesicle

[xoxoxoBruce]

How cold was it in Silt, Colorado?

A ~ Minus 28 degrees F.
B ~ Cold enough to make a Coyotesicle.

Seth Wettlin told TheDenverChannel.com that he ran out of gas on the way home Wednesday night and saw the coyote caught in his headlights on a dirt road, south of Silt. At first, Wettlin thought it was frozen in fear, but upon closer inspection, he found it was literally frozen solid. The dead animal was standing in snow up to its chest, with its tongue hanging out. Wettlin returned the next day to take photos of the animal, which was about 5 feet off the dirt road, next to an electrical box.”

At 28 below, you need more than a fur coat.
