Last night, you could tell something was moving in. The air was so thick and humid, and the temp. rose from -12C to almost melting by midnight. The fog was so thick you had to squint to see the end of your nose, and boy did it snow. This morning it's about -5C and dropping colder by the hour, so the snow won't be going anywhere for a while.
We typically graze our cows on native range till about this time of year, then swath or bale graze the rest of the winter. But this year, we had a fantastic growing season, and the cows are still grazing. With this snow, we don't have to worry about pumping water from the dugout now, so they'll get along fine until the New Year, provided we don't drop to -30/40. There's lots of grass where they're at now, so cost of feeding is pretty cheap.
