So, this snow storm made the first stnow storm look like nothing. I think we ended up with somewhere around 2'. MUCH more than we have seen in quite a few years!! Slowed us down quite a bit and heaven only knows when lessons will be able to start back up. It is pretty, but sure creates a lot more work! There's a lot of pictures here.
Should have heeded "Red sky at morning..." on Thursday |

Sunday 12/20 - the snow finally stopped. Those are pony trails in the snow.

The only way we got done as "quickly" as we did was because of the big Agco tractor. First real snow we've had since getting it. It was GREAT! Joel plowed most of the farm with the front end loader.

Snow was a little high for "Don Quixote" |

A view of the mountains from the ring field |
Just to give you some idea of how deep it was. It was at my knees...
|
Some pretty deep footprints - sure makes you tired quick! |
Another shot of the ring

The creek with the green grass next to the snow...kind of odd.
