Mother Nature has sure been making up for the mild winter we had been having, by dealing out very cold, windy, snowy and icy weather the past couple of weeks.

We have had a couple of feet of snow followed by at least an inch of ice, then topped off with another 3 – 4 inches of snow. If you walk carefully, you can walk on top of the ice with just a few sudden break-throughs into the deep snow below to throw you off balance.

The ice has done a number on a couple of the temporary fences we have while others appear less affected.

Several of the sheep have ice coats but do not seem to mind at all.

The sun shone brightly today to show off the ice but didn’t get warm enough to actually melt off much.
