This snow prompted to look for mine. Appears I removed the handle to use for something else, and brought the scoop to work to repurpose as a dust pan.I got rid of the pallet of snow shovels I had years ago.

I was north of Prince George buying calves yesterday. 2 feet on the Salmon River. We don't have 4 inches at home.We are losing snow pretty fast and that's concerning. I'd like to see it cool off and snow a foot or so. Not all in one day mind, but a foot would look pretty good over a week or so.
It was knee deep out in the open here, but not anymore.I was north of Prince George buying calves yesterday. 2 feet on the Salmon River. We don't have 4 inches at home.
1/2 hour up 97 and a bit west. Will have to take photos when I go back for the rest, was quite the facility for loading.It was knee deep out in the open here, but not anymore.
Assuming by north you mean Vanderhoof area? Or just a ways up 97?
We are looking at lows in negative teens and highs at zero. I can handle that for a couple days. Then cold again next weekend. Last year was really miserable at -30. I fed cows extra, but it was washy hay and they looked like crap by mid-February right before calving. I have better hay this year.We are supposed to get snow tomorrow, and next week is going to brutal cold. Out highs are supposed to be in the single digits. I seen a post I made on Facebook on January 16 2024 where it was -37 at 5am on that day. I'm glad we are not that cold.
Yes, as soon as I read your post I knew.Ky hills, you probably know who I am talking about.
I am a little excited this morning. My first two calves of this season came last night. Two shiny black heifers out of two half sister Sim-Angus cows, their 3rd calves. We still have a heavy snow pack but they left the herd for another field where I had fed some johnsongrass rolls. Each found their own well bedded old hay bed and the calves jumped up walking when I went over there to find them.
They trying to keep up with hurricane season......I never heard of a "polar vortex" or anything until a few years ago. The weatherman used to just say something like "next weeks going to be cold". Now it's hyped up with crazy names and colorful graphics.
There's an FM radio station over in Waco, that the weatherman is completely opposite the above quote. He's been around, maybe/probably even nationwide. Bill Hecke (pronounced hecky)We have a weatherman in the Lexington Ky area that starts jumping up and down when any sort of weather approaches. He constantly uses the most extreme computer model in his forecasts, and we go from one "RED LETTER WEATHER DAY" to another. He especially loves wind chill and winds over 50 mph.
