Hi everyone, it’s been quite snowy on the island again. We had 3 big storms /blizzards in January and on Thursday it started off as rain early in the day, but turned to snow late afternoon. It did not stop snowing until over night into Sunday. We had some heavy seasquals that dropped quite a bit of additional snow. I think preliminary numbers are saying 50+cm.
Rusty started to dig out the tractor yesterday so that he could at least clear one of our driveways and one vehicle in case of an emergency. He actually has to stop because the snow squals were coming down pretty hard.
The snow he had to dig out was anywhere from thigh to chest high in places. You can also see that there are bare spots…. but not as many this time around….
I took a couple videos and lots of pictures it was a good storm not very windy but lots and lots of snow.
So it’s Sunday and we got out after our online church service because of the snow and started to dig the rest of the yard out. It’s really sunny out today and not too windy sort of a good chance to blow the snow in another direction. As you can see from some if the pics… mount bredalbane is back…. I think I’m gonna need a crazy carpet or toboggan so I can sled down the mountain. I bet if you jumped up you can almost touch the wires…..
It is the most snow we have cleared with the tractor 🚜. It almost doesn’t have the ability to blow the snow up any higher…. we have dug out as much as we can at the road so that we can pull our to see if cars are coming on the road.
I even got a good video of big guns snow blower tractor coming up the hill. If you look closely you can actually see the layers of snow per storm.
I was able to get into one side if the greenhouse and knocked down some of the snow on the other side. Rusty was able to get in their with the blower and clear a path to the second door. It was so nice and warm in the greenhouse. Won’t be very long and we will have some cold living greens growing in their♡
The pheasants are back….. the last couple storms they appeared and have been around ever since. We put out some chicken feed and it’s so cool to see this flock of 14 birds. You cam also see the trails behind the far coop where they have been hanging out. We of course have lots of small wild birds and Angel and Charlie absolutely love watching them. Chick a dee’s, junckos, song bird sparrows, yellow Ffinches, wood peckers and blue hay’s….
Well we are inside now having a hot coffee and homemade cornbread…. sitting in front of the stove warming up. Gonna rest up a bit and do a few house things later and watch a bunch more awesome videos from the freedom protests♡♡ so much peace and love being shared ♡♡♡♡.
Have a great rest of the day and stay warm.
