This has been a brutal winter in our little corner of the world and we are definitely ready for spring to arrive. With La Nina in full force, we have had, what seems like, an endless cycle every couple of days of cold and snow, then warmer temperatures with strong winds. The latter part of the cycle can result in a ground blizzard and major drifting.
This past Saturday we woke up to strong winds with near whiteout conditions due to the most recent snowfall. This time, the problem was that it hadn’t warmed up to near freezing. It was minus 10 degrees Celsius, with an extremely cold windchill! Doing chores was, shall we say, less than pleasant. It would have been nice to have worn a yak coat!
I managed to pull my hands out of my gloves for a few seconds to take a couple of shots.
Thankfully it calmed down partway through the morning and by that time the critters were eagerly awaiting their breakfast.
