Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[RanchRoper]

We are under a winter storm warning here in southwest Alberta for the next 48 hrs; 3-4 feet of snow on the way.

What do the cattle do in all that snow?

Hay, hay and more hay!

[RanchRoper]

Lots of snow already here, we've had a foot overnight. Storm warning continues, and some areas could have 4 feet by Monday morning. The highway from Alberta to BC is closed through the Pass. Our son is in Lethrbridge and was supposed to be home today but can't travel. It's about an hour from home but travel advisory says don't drive anywhere. I have a load of wood coming later today to restock the woodshed, so I'll be clearing the driveway this morning so the guy can get in and out. At this rate I our local shooting range won't be sticking out of the snow until May. Heading out to feed horses now and then breakfast. After that, it's snowblower time once it gets light enough to see. Have a good day all.

Here's some of the fun outside right now

[RanchRoper]

-30 Tuesday night and rain in the forecast for Thursday. Might as well change all my guns to All Weathers.

I've got the shivers just looking at that!

[RanchRoper]

I expected as much last summer and brought in more hay than usual. Glad of it now.

That wouldnt be all bad would it. More Henrys to the collection. All weathers are cooooool. Nice here today no wind. I gotta paint the bathroom and then I might go shooting. Al

I'm not much of a football guy so I'm just relaxing tonight and having tea in my Henry mug. Holy smokes do we ever have snow, and it's still coming down hard. Walking to the corrals to feed horses an hour ago, the snow is waist deep in most places. I cleared the driveway around noon with the snowblower but you'd never know it now. However, If I don't keep on it, and it warms up a little then freezes, I'll never move it. The highway is still shut down, and there is an emergency alert for this area advising dangerous driving conditions. I wasn't going anywhere anyway. Sure look forward to getting horseback again and out in the back country checking cows on a warm sunny spring day. Soon!

Hang in there RR better days are comin. I finished the bathroom in time to go shooting today. I put about 400 rounds of 22 down range and 200 38 special. It was a nice day here 56 degrees and just a light wind. Had a great time with the Henrys. Al

[RanchRoper]

Sounds good, nice to get out and get the lead out!

[Les]

Good morning everybody!

It's 30°, bright and frosty. End of weather report.

I hope you all have a great day, and enjoy your brews.

[RanchRoper]

We have 4 ft of snow and counting. -20 right now. Hwys closed, everything closed. Snow might quit late tonight. Then rain in a day or so. Glad I don't have a basement. Out to do chores soon and then tea time. Another snowblower day ahead.

[BigAl52]

Good Morning from the Rockies another 50 plus degree day here on tap. Have a great day

[Bish1309]

Chilly but sunny. Our weather is doing the spring oscillations. Swaying between 20s and 40s. Hopefully the pendulum keeps swinging out higher and higher numbers.

[RanchRoper]

Still snowing. 72 hrs non stop now. -25 tonight. Haven't seen this much snow since I was a kid.

[Deadwood Dutch]

You and your wife stay safe, and I hope all the cattle and horses will be ok also.

[BigAl52]

I keep checkin back here for the snow report from Alberta. Hope your all okay up there RR were thinkin about ya. Nice day here and another one coming tomorrow. Sister in Seattle sent me a text today with a picture of 8 inches of snow in it. That creates big problems there.

[Les]

Good morning everybody!

It's 38°, and the forecast is for more wind and rain. Whoopee.

I hope y'all have a great day, and enjoy your brews.

[RanchRoper]

It's finally stopped snowing for now. 4 ft is the total at this point. Today was supposed to be sunny but no sign of it, just gray and overcast. Whatever this weather system is, it is socked right in. -30 this morning, hopeful it breaks soon.
