That S*** Word



Snow? Really? ARGH!! We had planned on getting hay this weekend, maybe squeezing in a ride, too. I kept hearing about the snow storm that was headed this way from the South. Really? Lots of trees haven't even turned yet. Snow?

Friday was a beautiful clear day, the lake was calm. Friday night the temps were starting to dip. We both cleaned up the dry paddock, he emptied the manure spreader just as it started raining. I brought the boys in for the night and put their jackets on.

Woke up to snow on the ground Saturday morning. It continued to snow, then sleet, freezing rain, rain, and snow for the rest of day. I went to Mt Airy for grain and shavings and the light lens for the tractor. I also did grocery shopping. Snow was deeper up there. Some people were out that should not have been. At least turn on your headlights!

The snow was supposed to stop around 3 PM. It was snowing harder at that time. He was working on the hallway, installing the Pergo. He thought he needed a better saw, one recommended for Pergo so he went into town. Wasted trip. The recommended saw destroyed the board. He'll return that later.

Snow finally wrapped up around 7 pm. Would have been more on the ground if it hadn't rained and sleeted, too. Brought the boys in for the night. At this point on the last remaining bale of hay.
