Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cold, Wind, Snow?

Perhaps the truest words ever spoken.

It's getting colder, now 1 below. But there's no where I gotta be so screw the driveway. Maybe when (if) the wind goes down, NW 28 G43 for -27. No complaints, just the way it is. And when it gets hot it's gonna feel SO good.

t could always be worse, not that much snow, maybe four inches, it's above zero, the wind has let up from early morning, still wicked out from the windbreak.

My camera does not like my new card, I did get a few.

snowy backs are a good sign.

Those cows were stepping right out.

its just part of winter here in the north land,we live with it.

We are grazing millet right now. It got flattened by the September snow.


I take them safflower every day. It got cold so we started taking them hay as well.


They didn't even clean it up. Surprised the heck out of us.



Independent buggers!

Pete, true, some of us just like to talk about it, and swap yarns.

The storm we had back in 75 was something else.

Did the driveway this morning. Wind's picking up here. Supposed to have something like 40 mph winds here. Gonna just hunker in the bunker today and let this blow through. 'Think I'm gonna need a bigger snowblower. The snow along the driveway is above my knees now. Time for a new one anyways, but I never thought I'd need a bigger one.

It's still rippin' out there, I commend all the folks driving the plow trucks. Stay safe!

Might get a rain shower today, only 77 for a high. Times are tough.

Yes it’s sideways

Not terrible here in Minnesota today just some snow and wind.
Watched a program about the 1949 Blizzard couple of days ago.
After watching that I am no longer going to bitch about snow again.

It's so flat there that you could watch your dog run away for 3 days.

Not really, blowing snow, low visibility.

The steer calves feel good, two crawled through the fenceline bunk. Jake spent enough time chasing them in.

It actually rained a little yesterday on top of our snow down here, enough to make a crust and keep it from blowing.

The roads were scary yesterday-ice underneath, snow on top and freezing rain layered on top of that- I was pulling a squeeze chute with the F-150 and things got a little sideways for a bit. Managed to keep it between the ditches-and left the chute at the next stop. The 20 miles back to town was better not towing something!

You earn your money Doctor Dan, out on the roads in bad weather. Doctor Steve Mead has some stories about bad roads before cell phones.

We had about 4-5" and then had the sleet/rain on top. Made for crusty snow blowing, but probably held the drifting down. The street out front is glare ice.

A salute to all the DVM's here.

The prolapsed uterus tales in the Herriot books will have you rolling on the floor with tears in your eyes.
