It happened, just like the weather prognosticators proclaimed it would.

We were glad we took precautions, and put cattle into places where there was shelter.

We probably received at least eight inches of snow, along with high winds.

Glad most of our calves had enough age to withstand the storm pretty well.

Between the grille guard and the hood makes a good place to stash wet snow-covered net wrap.

Where there are flowers, there is hope that spring will return.
 
Global Warming for sure. This type of thing could be eliminated with higher taxes and more federal control. sarcasm alert.
 
Hey Soap how much rain did you get before the snow came, here we had a little over 2" of rain and 14" of snow to top things off.
