Blizzard of 2010
Eliza walking along the path
The snow has started to let up. It has been snowing for 28 hours and my last measurement had about that many inches as well. It is a lot of snow. I worked this morning to clear a path for the pigs. They squealed and squealed, but I think secretly kind of enjoyed playing in the snow. I felt bad for the other animals as all of my tarps collapsed with the weight of the snow. I allowed the sheep, goats, and alpacas out and they got some exercise running along the path I had cleared for the pigs. All in all, everyone is healthy and making due. Here are some pictures of the storm:

That’s a quite a collection of the white stuff. We don’t see dumps like that up here in the Peace Country, although this year we have a serious pile but its primarily because we haven’t had a Chinook this year.
I’m keeping an eye out for serious weather since that’s an important aspect of my latest novel, ‘Homesteader’. I have a few chapters dedicated to the winter of ‘86-’87 which saw the end of the open range.
