We wanted to put a 2nd layer of plastic (greenhouse type plastic) in our greenhouse. Gary says " nice day to work in the greenhouse --- it will be nice and pleasant in there". Well, yes it was and we got a lot done .....but after he had gone out to the big barn for something he came back and said "let's get out of here, it just got about 10 times worse." We had to walk into the wind and it was wet snow -- so by the time we got back to the trailer we were wet!!! A person couldn't survive in something like that for long at all especially if not dressed properly -- which I wasn't!!
The wind blew all night long and in the morning we woke up to look out at some huge drifts. Pictures never do things justice ......But with the nose of the truck in there -- you do get an idea.
In the back portion of this picture you see a big drift. That one has to be at least 6 feet deep. When Clayton and Sawyer were out for a visit -- they went through there to go into the corrals -- driving the Honda and the Mitsubishi. Good thing this storm came the week after they were here. If they had been here this week ---- we wouldn't have gotten them back to McCook to catch the train!!! .....or if we did -- we wouldn't have gotten back home!!!
The wind is still blowing and it's still snowing. We know the snow plow won't be seen for a few days.....perhaps by Monday or Tuesday if we're lucky. That means we won't get out to church tomorrow.....cabin fever will be setting in. I'll have to come up with a good project for Gary. He pulled a face when I said we could clean cupboards.
Guess we'll enjoy spring all the more when it finally comes to stay!!!
We are thankful that we still have electricity --- the lights have blinked a couple of times but so far we are warm and comfy!
God Bless!!
Gary and Barb
