We had our first snow on Friday night. Got about 8 inches. Makes for some extra work but we usually clean out what is necessary and finish digging out Monday when we have a full crew.
I kinda have a love/hate for snow. I love the way it looks, turning the countryside white and making everything look so clean. Everything else about it I could do without. Jean and I enjoyed downhill skiing but that was when we were a few years younger.
Weather man says its going to be cold this week with some single digits temps at night. Barns are all closed up and pens are bedded up so we are ready for it. But saying that, cold weather always makes for extra challenges. Waters must be checked to make sure they are not froze. Rations need adjusting because cows eat more during cold weather to stay warm. Tractors need to be plugged in when not running so they will start when we need them and a number of other cold weather adjustments.
Well, I got to stop writing this blog and watch the Vikings. We are kicking Buffalo's butt so far today.
