**Protect your livestock tonight.** With temps dropping to 31°F Monday night and a hard frost likely, get cattle, calves, and any young or vulnerable animals into covered shelter before sundown — wet animals from today's rain combined with freezing overnight temps is a dangerous combination. Field work is a wash today anyway with 89% chance of rain, so use the daylight hours to bed down barns and check on newborns.
