Rain in December

The past few days have been super busy. Vet visit, hay delivery, extended family Christmas, and now Mother Nature is reminding me that we live in South Dakota.

We've had fog for the past four days straight, which has me wondering what March will be like. If we go back into an El Nino type of year, we are in for one doozy of a winter storm in March. Hopefully I'm wrong. We've had some really warm weather lately.

Last night the weatherman was predicting rain, freezing rain, and then snow for today. I learned my lesson from last Monday and blanketed everyone. I'm short a blanket (and actually I'm stuck using a few junky blankets that do NOT fit). Chaos is the only one without a blanket but he's pushy enough to stay in the run-in shed where everyone else may get pushed out.

I was glad that I put on the blankets when I went out to do chores this morning. It was raining. Although three hours later and there's no rain, just a lot of fog. I thought we were supposed to have rain and then snow later today but who knows at this point. I thought it would be like last week and the weather much worse. I hate trying to predict the weather. Makes it hard to juggle the paying job, plus caring for all the horses at the Sanctuary.

We are supposed to get snow tomorrow and wind. So we'll see if I get stuck on our gravel roads again or not. This winter seems to be perplexing me more than others.
