The ten inches of fluffy snow we got yesterday was very pretty coming down, but a little trying to drive through last night on roads that hadn’t been cleared yet.

Then the wind picked up overnight, sweeping the fields clear of snow and piling it in big drifts to block roads. Area schools are out of session today and many country roads will remain closed until the wind dies down.

Luckily I don’t have to worry about the buffalo during winter storms. They are built for it, foraging through the snow for forage and eating snow when thirsty.
