It is a gorgeous day here- like late spring, only it's mid-winter! Managed to get some gardening done and plenty of washing; sunny with a slight breeze. Even the bees are out

 

[Mountain trapper]

They're calling for up to 2 feet of snow in our area by the weekend. That will be a good start, but we'll still be way behind.

Had a good rain overnight. Going to be a nice day today!

Temps in the 30's, cloudy all day. We had an inch or two of snow last night. The ground is covered, but the streets are clear.

Want to town yesterday afternoon to pick up another 60 gallons of diesel. The road was snow packed up high but closer to town was just a lot of icy spots. Coming home there was a lot of cattle in the road.

Be careful out there.

@Mountain trapper why are the cattle in the road? Is this normal?

@Mountain trapper why are the cattle in the road? Is this normal?

This is all open range around here. This time of year the ranchers have moved all their cattle down to the valley for feeding and calving. Some areas the fences are in poor condition and the cattle wander off.
We always leave our gates open in winter. The cattle stick around when the snow gets deep, but around late February our cows decide to go on a walkabout. I've found them several miles from home on the road before, but they always come back when they get hungry, and find out there isn't any food on the road.

@Mountain trapper if the road is plowed out your way it’s because you did it, right? And then the cattle also associate road with lower snow pack, means truck, means food, no food, go home. (Just doing some cow thinking).
We might get icy roads this coming week (Monday morning).

The county plows the road a few miles past our driveway. Our driveway is 2 miles long up to the house, I've got another mile or so to plow around the house, barn, pump house and the feeding areas. Plus I keep an area plowed up the hill where I can get phone/internet service. On a normal winter we have over 4 feet of snow by now, over the top of our fences. The cattle usually hang out under the trees where the snow isn't too bad, or on the areas that I keep plowed. So far this winter we only have 6 - 8 inches of snow on the ground. I've seen more snow than this in July before.
It's snowing now. Hopefully we'll start catching up.

Cold, 26°, heading for 60°! Rain tomorrow morning, followed by an extremely windy cold front! Warms up a little before the artic front gets here the end of the week!

 

[Mountain trapper]

20 degs this morning with a little snow overnight. Starting tomorrow we're supposed to get over a week of snow everyday and the temps dropping to below zero. Looks like winter is finally coming.

Sunny today with a little haze, baro @1012 so we are safe from 'the rath-of-Pearl' for a while .

Those winds ruined it

 

[LadyLocust]

It’s finally beginning to look like Christmas . Snow on the mountains. Snow level is just above us though it’s supposed to be dropping by the end of the week and single digits

 

[Magpie]

Froze hard here last night- up to -5 in places. On the back of the rain it's lethal outside, so I took the main, longer route when dripping son off to work, but came back the small windy road as it was light by then. Not too bad apart from my own road and yard, though husband had difficulty through the next county as it had rained also. First vehicles we passed were a school bus and an ambulance. All schools back today, I'd say that was fun. The roads weren't gritted.

 

[Pearl]

47°, crazy windy! Waiting on rain, line of storms this morning!

 

[sonya123]
