Yes - it is snowing. Right now I would say 18" or so are on the ground and it doesn't look like it is stopping anytime soon. The weather guys say that it won't stop until sometime Sunday morning.
How does the affect us? A LOT!!! I love snuggling up and watching it snow - and today Joe is the one outside becoming a snowman. I am not ashamed to say that I'm a whimp when it comes to this much wind and snow. Well the snow is taller than most of our chickens, no one wants to go outside and we have to use the big tractor to get around right now.
Of course, our Nigerian Dwarf Goats are due to give birth any day now - so far it hasn't been
today. I did rush outside this morning at 8am to find the puppy and make sure she was ok along with the rest of the animals in the barn - so far so good. Joe's been out a couple more times as he's been trying to plow some of the driveway, but it seems as fast as he plows - it comes back
down. I dreamed of a white Christmas - but NOT this white!!!
Here are some pictures of the farm today - and trust me - it's still coming down FAST!!
This is a view from our deck to the barn - notice the fence!
Monster is walking in the path that Joe created with the tractor - right now in most places the snow is up to his stomach (and he's NOT a small dog!!) The ducks are out where Joe was able to shovel earlier today - it is fun to watch them try and swim in the snow.
This poor chicken coop houses the kids show birds for 4-H! They are alright in there with feed since the coop is raised off the ground - but they are NOT happy right now!
A view from our deck out to the chicken coop where Joe is at least TRYING to gather eggs. Understand that usually in order for us to get the eggs, we will get the chickens to go outside the coop - and today they are NOT moving!
