Presidents' Day - Snow Day (AGAIN)

This February is going down in (my) history as a very snowy month. Glad February is a short month. And it is snowing, again.

Last night I put the horses out after feeding. Alli did not want to leave her stall. She expected to stay in and have hay delivered. Eventually she walked out, but didn't go into field #1 right away. She had to first do a lap around the barn. Beau went out without further ado, at a canter.

Then I gave everyone hay outside, finished cleaning their stalls and filling water buckets. Later in the evening, before it was expected to start snowing, I brought them in for the night. They all filed in like soldiers. The Blacks want to be in, in the lap of luxury. I closed the Dutch doors and the barn aisle doors.

I got up this morning before the sun and it was actively snowing, everything was covered.
Predicted snow totals keep changing, but we are expected to have three to five inches of snow, topped off with a quarter of an inch of freezing rain. O boy! Been so cold that this snow is light and fluffy, but it will warm up to have freezing rain, so everything will have a crackly coating.
