Snow

[fitzw]

Parts of town have 24" of snow. We have 21" where I have tested the depth — I found this out while I was digging a path from the house to the barn so that my father could feed the chickens and gather the eggs (I ended up feeding the cattle).

The snow is almost too heavy and wet for the plow on the tractor.

Snow turned to rain for a little while, making the accumulated snow even heavier, and then turned back to snow again.

In the immortal world of Linus van Pelt: "It's pitch white outside!"

I like snow. I would prefer that I didn't have to go anywhere when it snows like this, but that's not the way that our lives are set up these days.

My father and I still have to be able to get to the barn (I can wade through it — he needs a path), and emergency vehicles have to be able to get to the house if there's a need (praise the All, there wasn't such a need this time).
