JB and Haymaker- You can have this batch of moisture- I'll gladly give it to you...My arthritis is already aching, so you know the weather change is going to kick those old cows into high gear with the calving...

We definitely had a nice day today- temp was 46, but the wind was howling 25-30 mph...

They updated ours now to a storm watch....

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GLASGOW HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM
WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING.

SNOW WILL DEVELOP FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST ACROSS THE REGION
LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. EAST
TO SOUTHEAST WINDS 20 TO 35 MPH WILL CAUSE AREAS OF BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW PRODUCING OCCASIONAL WHITE OUTS. UP TO 8 INCHES OF
SNOW IS POSSIBLE BY MONDAY MORNING FROM THIS STORM.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL.
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

What would be wrong with a nice gentle rain? Haymaker's forcast has me feeling sorry for myself.

The upside is IF this materializes, the dams sure could use some runoff.

Oldtimer, these spring storms get me to thinking about our old friend rancher. I remember the trouble he had after last years storm. Hope all fare ok through this one. I'm glad the old cows are nearly 3 weeks from calving. The best calf to have in a rough spring storm, is one still inside it's mother.

[HAY MAKER]

Keep the wind ,OT and send the rain TX is drying up,speakin of arthritis I thank that stuff is tryin ta get on me,my neck shore been stiff today watching that disk stir dust,maybe thats a sign it will rain,something better happen pretty soon or there wont be many cattle in TX.........good luck

[Oldtimer]

Yeah-- ol rancher better dig out his grumpy pants.... Been so nice around here this winter I'm not even sure where I hung my carharts, but I better dig them out....Weather boys still say they think the worst of it will stay south of the Missouri, which is the normal pattern for these spring storms...

Haymaker- I saw them interviewing some folks from Oklahoma on FOX news tonite and they were saying there is no more local hay to be found...Wish we were closer as everyone up here has way more than they need.......

[Mike]

[HAY MAKER]

Yeah,everybody around here is trying to hold on a little longer,hopeing for a wet early spring,if not we will sell again and start looking outa state for hay,this drought has really taken a toll on some of these old ranchers heard more than one say if they are forced to sell again they are gonna retire,sit on the front porch drink whiskey,down here we can almost make more money running deer leases than cattle anyway.............good luck

[Silver]

OT, I'll gladly trade you for the weather we've been having. lots of nights down to -30, with wind gust to 70kmh, and snowing as well. Calving season is getting awfully long, might turn the bulls out later this year...
