Although the Weather Outside is Frightful...

I don't remember how the rest of the song goes! But you get my drift. I'm not sure if we are in a blizzard warning yet or not. But it sure is blustery out there right now.

I was smart this afternoon and got the barn and stalls ready long before chore time. So when chore time rolled around (and the real storm was starting up), I didn't have to spend hours outside fighting unhappy horses.

All of the horses are either tucked away in their stalls or safely in their runins. I think we were up to about a foot of snow when we came in from doing chores. I could be wrong. The wind makes it very deceiving. We do have a couple of three to four foot drifts. Some of the drifts were up past my knees; granted I'm only 5foot 3inches but still...a big snow drift is a big snow drift.

This pic was taking at the end of May, a far cry from the blizzard like conditions outside right now.

I did take a few quick pic this afternoon of the storm just starting to brew. I didn't get any pics tonight of Mike on the tractor pushing snow. This storm is said to last until Saturday. I'm hoping it peters out sooner than that!

Not much more to tell other than the standard chores and throwing all that I can into stalls to keep them out of the bad weather, especially since they are talking -15 degrees below zero wind chills all the way down to -27 degrees below zero wind chills. This storm can pass in a hurry.

If you don't hear from me in the next day or so, it's only because I'm out doing chores making sure everyone is happy and fed.
