What's the weather like at your place?

[Texan]

Dang, Big Muddy - 1:29 AM Central Time? Are you up checking heifers or fighting aches and pains like some of the rest of us?

But, yeah, Cedar Tree Holler, a general location like your state would be nice. Welcome to Ranchers.net.

A little cooler around here this morning with mid-40's, but spring is sure here with some 80's earlier in the week. Hardwood trees are leafing out and warm season grasses are starting to show up.

Supposed to get to 65 today. That will melt the 6" of snow we got on Tuesday. Glad for the moisture and more coming next week to the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains. SE Mt is still VERY DRY, near disastorous dry.

The mention of rain gets me excited. I don't remember why I was up but I think my dog wasn't feeling good.

We are finally getting a little rain!!!!!! I hope it keep falling.

This whole area, from Mt, WY, SD is under a high wind watch (50-60 mph winds) and some areas are in a Fire Weather Watch as well. Way too early for that. Going to get to 75 degrees in those places next Saturday and Sunday. If you are of a mind to, they would certainly appreciate your prayers.

Consider it done. Not sure how much pull I have in heavenly matters but will sure send a few

Warm and muggy this morning. This is the kind of weather we need to finally start growing some grass. I've still got a lot of cattle wanting hay, and that's a little later than usual.

I try to save some of my best hay to leave scattered around late in the season to encourage them to grab a bite when they walk by, but it's time for them to quit it - according to the calendar. But, looking at the ground is different than looking at the calendar, and it seems to me that they're going to need some help for another week or two at least.

We are dry with nothing in the forecast. Going to water down the sorting alley today so we can see to pick replacement hfrs

 

[Faster horses]

We got about half an inch of moisture yesterday. Daughter east of us finally got some moisture. SE Mt didn't .

 

[leanin' H]

Dry and clear here. Like a broken record. Wish it would quit freezing every night. Hit 16F last night. The grass just hides it's eyes. Warms up to 60's in the daylight hours. But until it quits making ice after dark we are watching the grass NOT grow.

 

[Leilani]

Beautiful right now not to hot with a breeze here and there looks beautiful out

 

[leanin' H]

This evening the clouds are building from the northwest. Sure look promising. The weather app on my phone says we could get a foot of snow in the Wasatch mountains but it's usually about as correct as the talking heads on TV. Had to build a fire in the wood stove tonight. The breeze has a chill to it.

 

[Big Muddy rancher]

We got rain and snow the last couple days, East of us they are close to a foot of snow.
Highways have been closed in the Eastern part of the province

 

[Faster horses]

Cold wind blew here all day! And yesterday. And the day before.
We could get snow 3-6" Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon. We will see.
I trust the weatherpeople as much as 'H does.

 

[DosArroyos]

Gosh it's dry here.About 2.5" or rain since last August and a some dry snow melt.The wheat around is pitiful looking and my oats that I was hoping to bale for hay is the same.We do have a chance of rain tonight,but that's what the weatherman's been saying for the last 2 days and nothing yet...Sigh

 

[Mountain Cowgirl]

Not unusual for the wind to blow here but predominantly from the south. Last few days it is from the north and cold. Warm days predicted and no rain for a week but the alfalfa is growing amazing for no irrigation. I believe they will get the first cutting without watering. The few that did start their wheel lines woke up to some elaborate ice sculpturing last week. The native grasses do look behind schedule and waiting for more warmth and moisture.

 

[leanin' H]

Windy all night but not a drop of rain/snow so far
Maybe today

 

[Haytrucker]

What H said. Big chunk of the west has had a breeze for a while, relentless. My brother who lives in Wyoming said he is tired of wind, and he usually doesn't notice it...

 

[Faster horses]

We have had 3 feet of wind and a trace of moisture. We have a weather advisory out for tonight and all day tomorrow, until noon on Friday. 2-5" of snow predicted. But it started out being 11" throughout those 3 days. So I can let you know Friday evening how close the predictors were.

 

[leanin' H]

Rain, Rain, Rain We got a nice storm off and on most of the day yesterday. Haven't checked the gauge yet but sure made the dirt wet and one simple minded rancher happier than an otter on a slippery slide.
