Snow's piling up

Well, the snow from this storm is certainly piling up, and now it's drifting. Snow's about 4' deep...and I'm completely worthless. Can't even get into the skid steer to plow! My lovely bride managed to get the skid into the garage from the barn, and she brought the big snow blower down in the bucket. Bless her bottomless heart!

All I can do is pretty much look out the window and be glad we don't need to go to the store.

Still snowing now, but snowing sideways. Then there's the blowing snow. We've got some serious drifting. Not sure if I can even get my truck out now. Skid can probably navigate around without too much problems though. Glad I put new tires on it this past year.

I live north of you in Montana and it is currently 58 degrees...

There are still a few pockets of snow under a few of the Cedar, but that's about it...

My apricot trees are starting to leaf out.

I am pretty happy that Global Warming finally showed up here.

I may plant a month too soon just to entice Ms Winter!!!

Grandma's been staring through the window ever since it started to snow.
If it gets any worse we'll have to let her in!

LOL!!!!

Sorry about your plight, but that snow melt will eventually fill the acequia's in the Rio Grande Valley. It's been a dry winter here and we need the water.

You are not getting water until the New Green Deal is passed.

And the Messia Biden will let it rain.

Hail Hydra!!!

Fixed it for you

I have an eighty inch snowblower on the back of my tractor. It is duel stage and it only cost about two grand when I bought it. I already pretty much wore out the chain idler pully tensioner bearing, but I have had it for almost twenty years. I guess the pto driven blowers are about three grand now, but this one will last me till I die I hope. If you don't get a lot of bigger snowfalls, it doesn't pay to buy one, I use it when it snows six inches or more most times and between the blower and the loader I can clean up almost anything. I also have a plow truck and that is nice and warm but it is worthless when plowing two feet of heavy wet snow. Also I need to blow back the banks because I have a circular drive and not much reliefs to plow the snow into. This year has been so mild so far I have not had to blow snow, just plow and scoop around the cars and the little sidewalk. All the storms are hitting south of here....HeHe Haw Haw Haw. No I do not have a donkey.

Dear FCD, you should be in line for the Biden farmers reparation. I know you're not a "minority" farmer so I'm giving you a heads up to "become" a minority. For the money identify yourself with say, a transgender farmer who's been victimised for your transgenderism.
