Enjoyed a beautiful White Christmas, until the wind started blowin'.
Here's a few photos of the lane from my house out to the county road.

My hay trailer became one with the drift.:roll: After plowing out each side with the tractor, it was time to break out the shovel and dig out from under it. No way just to pull it out, the snow was set like concrete and completely packed around the brakes.

Here a coming 2 year old Charolais Bull. I had just plowed a few strips for 'em, didn't take him long to find some bear ground.

Oh, that's easy. Just honk the horn on the feed truck and they appear out of the thin air. :lol:
 
Thanks for the pics. Some nice country over there. What range is that high one, San Juans? The range in the first shot must be La Garitas? Been Cold? One year I had my PU and gooseneck burried (all I could make out in that drift was one little black spot that was the top of a backup lite on the headache rack) that took 3 days of digging to get it out after the sun had worked on the snow for a few days. Like you say that was like concrete.

Didn't realize you were that close to the Sangre's. I pictured you farther to the west side of the valley.

Yep, the Sangre's are right in my back yard. If there was a tunnel under the mountains, It'd be only about 10 miles or so to Ned Jr.'s place on the Wet Mountain side, but by highway miles it's closer to 90 miles.
 
I see you have the same snow mounds i do,nice pics.Got my stock trailer stuck,spent three hours shoveling snow then putting down dirt for traction for the truck,needless to say, i filled the air with some colorful words :o :shock: Hate it when ya' have to break the shovel out to dig out axles :x :mad:Don't try and drive through two feet of snow with a stock trailer :oops: :P :roll: :wink:
 
Thanks Nicky, and to all for your compliments.

Blkbuckaroo, I can feel your pain :wink: ....after shoveling around the axles, I found all my brakes were frozen. The sun had melted just enough of the snow to run some liquid down around the linings to freeze them in. Fortunately, it wasn't to hard to get them unfroze and was able to put about a 1,000 miles behind be late last week, although the first 100 miles or so I left a trail of snow. :shock: :)
 
I was haveing trouble with a hydrant freezing up turned out I had a bad pressure switch.I had to put a truck tire over the hydrant and lit it on fire that got things thawed out.Makes for long days when your fighting mother nature.
