Congrats Haymaker on the Rain!! The last time you posted pixs it looked very dry.

What did everyone think about the snow in California? My girlfriend is from there and she was laughing about seeing the snow and ice down there.... she said she was glad she didnt have to drive on the freeways with the crazy drivers!! Shes very used to these manitoba winters now.

Nothing funnier than watching a bunch of "sun-loving-city-dwelling" folk trying to drive in a quarter of an inch of snow!!! Scares the heck outta them!!! Shocked

Bet the car insurance companies are busy right now down there.... When we were down there three years ago, I couldnt believe all the crashes on the freeway and it was July..... really had baffled why there were so many accidents. After driving down there for a week I realized why.... Shocked Shocked Surprised It was kinda nice to get back to the quiet gravel roads up here....

Lily and Haymaker, Hope you folks are far from those
wildfire sites. Just caught up with the tv footage on TX.
Sure looks frightening. Hope it pours rain instead of ash
on you soon.

nr, we're fairly a good distance, I looked on the map and calculated the miles yesterday or day before and it's over 500 miles from me. Bright side Iguess is that the forest already burned all the surroundin woods and there's not much left to burn around here.

But I sure feel for those up there dealin with those fires, awful ....just awful. Our prayers are with them all.

got 1.4 inches this past weekend!!! Put out any local fires and made it safe for atleast a few days of any others starting. But they had like 40 plus mph winds up where the fires were........i bet it dried what moisture they had out and it was a major dust, ash storm you ever seen! that county is just devastated...i wish i could get pics posted of the results of it....pastures just strews with dead cattle...nothing green and nothing to get green...just sticks or charred cactus.....quite depressing.
