Quite a bit of snow you have there. We had a few inches last week, but on Christmas day, it was 35 and rained, so it all melted.
Everything has been pretty quiet here. Too cold to do anything with the horses, except feed and clean stalls.
That’s Tuffy in the picture. Janelle jury rigged some ropes to a boat sled to take her grandchildren for a sleigh ride.
We got 14 inches out here two weeks ago and it’s still here. We had record breaking cold - minus 18’ and our highs haven’t gotten out of the thirties so no melting to speak of. We got a couple more storms but not a lot of snow, just an inch or so on top of what we already have.
A neighbor lost a four year old horse the night it went to minus 18. We have never heard of a horse dying of the cold but when the rendering company came out to pick it up, they said they had gotten a lot of calls from our valley. Really strange. We’ve gotten a lot of dead birds, including a big owl. And of course, frozen pipes and drainage pipes.
Have I mentioned I hate winter? :) May you have a blessed new year.
