Nasty storm a brewing

We are getting hit right now with a nasty storm. Strong winds, snow and although it is not that cold, only -5, it feels much worse with that wind.
And it must be making the world crazy too. We got a call this am from one of my hubby's crews that he had a flat tire, and when he pulled the spare down from under the truck it was flat too. So off hubby had to go to get a spare to him, over 1 hour away, then continue on to Shaunavon to get the other flat fixed so the crew was not running with no spare.
So that left the girls and myself to deal with "HIS" milk cow, she has been very sweet since she calved, letting me put the kicker on and milk her, but this am she would have none of it, she kicked and kicked, couldnt barely get out of her stall...So there she stood. Hubby finally got into cell coverage and I told him about his nasty cow, so against my better judgement of making her stand in the staunchen till he got home, he said to turn her out. But I did keep her calf in, so when he gets home she will be around and he can get her milked. Grr I hate that cow.

And coopslave, you can be happy that we are finally getting snow here.

Hidden, sounds like a bad start to your day! Really it can only get better.
Don't worry, if it is the same system that went through here you have a LOT more snow coming. We are only about 45minutes from Big White Ski Hill and in the last 7 days they have had 97cm of fresh snow and I don't think that even counted what fell last night!
We are not far behind that. I don't think we have to worry about our fields being to dry this spring. I would say we can expect lots of mud.

I wanted more snow to pretty up the place.
Sheesh It is a freaking arctic wasteland out there now!

Sounds like a dramatic start to your day Hidden. Hope everyone keeps safe. Coopslave, we just got a foot in the last 24 hours....on top of a foot of old snow we already had. It's hard to believe that we're approaching Spring when you look outside. Unbelievable.

The ski hills will be happy!

And a gentle sprinkling of snow is lightly falling from the sky here. Doug is pi$$ed. He wanted more. Weird man. He is currently staring out the window and complaining under his breath about the LACK of snow.

yes a change in the weather makes animals behave differently sometimes, doesn't it?, not sure about the flat tires though?

Sounds like our days are starting out similar to each other! We are getting snow all night and it is still snowing. The wind is blowing like crazy and I am snowed in. I just pray that bsbe does not decide to come early or I will be delivering on my own!!! As soon as it quits snowing i get to snowplow with the skidsteer which hubby has stuffed into the corner of his shop so could be fun to get out. I also have to move the shelter I am building and pray that we have a jerry can of deisel here so I can get plowed out! Hope your day gets better Hidden

We were supposed to get hammered. Had about 4 inches of heavy snow his morning which I cleared before it got worse. Hasn't snowed since and the clouds seem to be breaking up. Might be another near miss. Some relatives a few hours north had more like a foot of snow.

Oh my day is fine, as long as Hubby gets home safe and sound.
It is a good day for some house work and then relaxing with a movie and the kids.
Always a good side of a snow storm

We have blizzard-like conditions here right now... maybe another long weekend heading my way *dance*

What I want to know is how the heck the wind can be blowing from every direction at once?!! ONLY on the prairies, I tell ya.


Definitely a day to relax indoors and curl up with a good book. I plan to do just that with my new SOP later this afternoon.

three foot drift accross the driveway. Got pissy and plowed the minivan though it. Im still going to ahve to shovel though.

Hey! I though you had an uberwonderbar snowblower? Has the previous weather been so mild you have forgotten about it?
