SnowStorm #2 - a Mega Mess

This storm was a doozy! We had 50 mph winds, horizontal snow, 5-6' drifts, no power, no phones - cell or home line, no internet and water was getting low! However, we DO have a generator - thank the Lord!! So we have been warm and toasty in the house but today was indeed a challenge when you step foot outside the door.

The weather service said we had another 12" of snow and my sore muscles and Bruce's will attest to it! Previously we had 18" ~ yes for incredible 30" in less than a week! Today, Bruce has moved snow around all day using the tractors and the skidsteer. But much of it by the house and around the shop required good old fashioned "muscle"... So if you needed a workout - this was the place to be! Thanks honey for all your hard work today.... what a job! Grandpa just called and he said he had 4-5" of snow and he never saw it so wet! Plastered all over the buildings...

These pictures were mostly of this morning around 7:30 or 8:00 a.m. and I didn't get any of the snowdrift except on my phone! You'll have to take my word for it!







That's all for now.... Now for some sunshine to get this melted off and some runoff in the ponds!  Beautiful moisture for sure!

Hope Papa doesn't get his tractor stuck in those drifts! WOW, that was a lot of snow. Too bad you don't have any fun MN gear to enjoy all that snow with.

Look at all that snow! Good for moisture, bad for sore tired muscles! Hope it's starting to melt by now!
