Big Snow #3

If you can believe it, we got big snow #3 on Friday, Jan 5...Another 9-10 inches at the house.

Michael had re-shoveled all the paths to feed the animals on Friday morning before we left to head to Boulder. Turned out my work was closed because of the snow storm, so I headed back home. By the time I got home at 11am, I had to shovel the entrance to the garage to get the truck in it!

Michael went in to work on Saturday morning, so I shoveled the path to the hay barn (again). While I was shoveling I started singing to myself a little song about how the winter would be a long one if I had to shovel the same path over and over to the haybarn. I got a good workout in the morning between the shoveling and hay-bale carrying (another 150 pound of hay carried by woman power!) During the hour I was outside, the temperature raised from 13 to 23 degrees!

We got hefty winds Saturday night, and all that snow was blowing everywhere. This morning all our paths were invisible again under the snow...so we got to dig out once more! All the lovely shoveling I had done to clear out the path to the garage had been un-done by the winds!

I tell you, this is going to be a long, long winter.
