We didn't get the snow but we sure got the 30mph winds and dropped to 34 degrees! I was in shorts on Friday and Saturday morning. Then at noon everyone scrambled to tie stuff down!

I lost my favorite chicken. He tried to fly but crashed horribly.


When I packed things up this morning it was 34 and blowing 20 to 30.

Here are my twins. Arnold and Danny D.


They work pretty good.






Wasn't my weekend for the Judges. Only managed to pull an 11th in brisket out of 38 teams.

Well, it's really starting to blow and snow now . . .  These were just quick snap shots out the front door, under the carport.  Drifts up to about 1 foot there, and much deeper elsewhere.  Tomorrow morning should be interesting.  May have to go on a 4-wheeler ride.

It finally started coming down good here.
I took three quick shots (with the camera) out the front door.
Looks like I will be home tomorrow. We just about lost our power
20 minutes ago. Lights flickered two or three times.
Don't know how much longer we will be online tonight.
I have a fire place but no backup power.

Radar still shows snow there, looks like it may end about 1 AM local time Monday. Hope all is well. I am amazed your satellite web service is working in heavy snow.

Did you bring cross country skis?
