The winds started early this morning, and are picking up as the morning progresses. We're supposed to have gusts of up to 50-60 mph all day and through the night.
The dogs all "helped' me feed the calves this morning as usual, and the rain didn't stop Phoebe from begging to play ball on the way to the hutches. You can see the path the wagon has made through the grass this winter. This morning I was slipping in the mud as I pulled it back to the barn...
We've had lots of puddles like this, this winter. February on average around here, brings about 2.5" of rain. We've had over 5"!
It's pretty difficult to see in this picture taken out the dining room window, but snow flurries are now blowing sideways! They're melting as soon as they hit the ground, but it's snowing!
I for one am thankful that it's not freezing cold and blowing like this. The mud is a mess, yes, but a lot less trouble than a cold west wind, frozen water lines and plowing the driveway!
I'm hoping that if March is blowing in like a lion, that it will go out like a lamb!
I hope it goes out like a lamb for you too. March is always so unpredictable. Its nice to see all of the land starting to green up. 5 inches? What a lot of lovely rain.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I hope March comes out as a lamb. We had a snow storm on March 1st and a bit of rain this morning but the sun is shining now. We still have lots of snow but we've been having springlike days. I don't mind waiting for spring when it's nice as we will soon enough be digging in the garden and pulling weeds.
ReplyDeleteThe river is still frozen over.
Hugs, Julia
We got the wind, but also a promise of20 to 35 cm of snow! Smile, you don't have the snow!!!!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention frozen water lines.... argh.
ReplyDeleteMarch out like a lamb would be nice. We never had the horrible snow weather that many surrounding us did so you never know. Oh well March goes fast because it is a busy month as you know. Hug B
ReplyDeleteI heard you were getting nasty weather at your end of the country. Hang in there! We are on the downhill slide.
