Wednesday Night
Colder...breezy. Partly cloudy. Patchy blowing and drifting snow in the evening. Lows around 10 below. Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph shifting to the west 10 to 15 mph after midnight. Wind chill readings 17 below to 27 below zero.
We are hunkered in with the fireplace roaring and plenty of provisions to get us through the blizzard.
Eight to ten inches of snow is fairly easy to deal with...but...when you add winds of 30-35 mph, that is a different story. We will be drifted in for sure as I can blow out our country lane and it will be drifted in again within an hour.
I speak from experience, wait till the winds calm down, then hit the drifts with the tractor-blower combination.
Aahh....a day off in the middle of the week.
Stay tuned for pictures!

I always loved the unexpected holidays we got when there was a good blizzard, staying indoors and eating, playing games or cards, reading, and just going down to a slower pace and waiting it out. Enjoy!
