Must be Easter.

3+ feet of snow in Pony and Harrison, 60+ MPH winds on the plains, highways closed, temps dropping to a low of 0F at night, my road to town is completely blocked by snowdrifts with at least 2 trucks I can see from the house stuck with snow at least 1/2 way up the doors.
I gave one driver a ride to their house, but I think we're pretty much snowed in for the next few days until the county plows.

Spring time in Montana. What a lovely, gentle, warm time of year when winter ends and we look forward to summer.

Equidor is looking better and better.

Makes me think about the ranchers ... couldn't be worse timing for all those new calves and lambs.

Many of my neighbors are done with lambing and calving by now, but those that have some holdouts moved them closer to the barns and loafing shelters.

Calving in bad weather is just part of ranching.

We're slated for more snow tonight. Not supposed to get higher than 40F until Monday.

County had to send a front end loader, and a big one, to blast through some of the road by my house. One pile of snow is higher than his cab.
A grader followed trying to push it back to the edge of the road. Not sure what happened, but the wing plow was stuck vertically in a snowbank on the side of the road this morning.

So glad spring is here. I was really getting tired of winter.

Now, which snowdrift is my truck hiding under......

Spring in the Rockies and northern plains is sometimes in name only. It's been quite the storm in the Dakotas and eastern Montana.

This storm is much needed and still too short.

Figuring it took 3 days for the county to dig out my road using 2 front end loaders, and tore the big V-blade off their grader trying to get through, it was a significant storm.

Yes we need moisture, but what's old ma nature got against rain?

Wow! Good soaking rain all day

Turning to sleet now at night, probably white again by morning, but damn it's nice getting some moisture. Of course the road is a 6 mile mudder course, but I'll take it to get some grass.

We've watched it rain and snow all around us. We've received a sum total of .07inches of moisture. Not even a 10th.

We worked in the garden this weekend and there is literally no subsurface moisture. Dry as a bone.
