Right as the storm is arriving. 
This is about 7:00 p.m.
We don't very often get a blizzard warning, especially in November, but this year is different. It looked like maybe it wasn't coming but by about 4:00 p.m. it was here. It came in sideways and swirled around. The snow blew up against every window in the house. We were just hoping we didn't lose electricity because we haven't had a fire in the fireplace for twenty years and it wouldn't be a good time to test out our old chimney. It was over by about 10:00 p.m. and dumped about six inches on us.
The next couple of days, it got down to -10 degrees at night. Talk about add insult to injury. That was not too fun. We had a calf born on Thanksgiving morning. It was 8 degrees and there was a foot of snow where he landed. Bryan and I happened to be there and waited for him to arrive. We scooped him up and put him on a pile of hay and let mama do the rest. When we came back to check on him around 4:00 he was up nursing and looking good. We put him in the pick-up and hauled him to the calving shed for the night. He loved the straw and burrowed down into it immediately. The cow was a little more trouble to get in, but we got her.
