Big snow year

Feed ground is packed down. Every fresh snow is a clean tablecloth. To make the area bigger, you feed next to the edge of packed. We will be plowing a lot of snow in the next few weeks before we bring most of them home for calving.

How does the feed ground get packed, just animals or some other means. I wish I could pack down mud down here.

Is that a solar panel on the left? Snow can be a PIA, but new-fallen snow can be beautiful and peaceful.

Yes, we are 15 miles from the nearest power of phone line. Diesel generator, solar, inverter and batteries, sate light internet, phone and tv.

Would gladly be paying a power bill.
 
🤔 I think we’ve seen more snow than mud this year. 6 inches of snow made some for a few days. A little mud would be welcome...at least what it takes to make mud anyway. Been 21 months since water went over the spillways.

Might be chilly tonight.

The azimuth must be broken on your panels Dave, they are pointed down at the ground. I imagine having them tracking the sun would be essential especially with limited day length in winter. Here we get away with just plonking them on a roof, add a few more panels to cover ourselves and we are good to go summer and winter.
No footprints in the snow Dave.

The wife thinks that would be the life, completely off grid, self sufficient. Just curious what the major cons are? I’m assuming big diesel fuel bill & a lot of self maintenance?

Looks to me like they are pointed about right to catch the sun at his latitude.

We have nearly $60,000 invested to serve two yard site. Battery life is 5 to 10 years. Generators wear out and need replacing eventually. Would much rather write a cheque every month for what we use and let someone else do the maintenance.
