Thoughts From The Middle of Nowhere

  • Tired

    I am so sick and tired of this cold I have it isn't even funny. Usually you get a cold and in about a week you get over it. I first come down with symptoms on the 13th of December and I still am not over the damn thing. It's the damnedest thing, I start…

  • Weather

    This weather is unbelievable. Sunday morning it was 10 below zero here. Crisp and cold. Monday morning it was 30 above zero for a 40 degree temperature difference. Then guess what? It rained last night, yes rain. When I got home from my daughter's band concert last night it was 45 degrees above zero and…

  • Cold Clear

The temperature was 10 below and the sun was shining. It makes for a crystal clear look to the air. The cows were sure enjoying the sunshine. Taken 12/2/2007.</center>

  • Cold Winter?

    I see they are starting to talk about a La Niña which means a <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/09/12/news/state/25-nina.txt">cooler, wetter winter</a> in our area. I have mixed feelings about this. I understand for snow pack and irrigation purposes the talk of a cooler and wetter winter weather is a good thing.<br />n<br />nI don't rely on snow pack…

  • Early

    It seems a little early to me. I had to put my long underwear on yesterday it was so cold and i was damn glad I did. I would have froze to death if I hadn't. Isn't it a little early yet for such a thing in this area? Seems like it to me. It's…

  • NOT A Winter Wonderland

    <center><a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/views/winter04042007?full=1'><img width='640' height='480' style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/views/winter04042007.sized.jpg" alt="" /></a></center><br />n<br />n<center>Here is a shot of the snow that won't leave. Yesterday we got a couple of more inches and I see there is more on the ground this morning with another inch of snow in the forecast for today. I…

  • Little Siberia

    Mittens wanted to go outside this morning and took one look out the door at the fresh snowfall and decided not to. I told him that there is no door into summer and I don't think there ever will be again.<br />n<br />nI know, defeatist, but that's what it feels like. The snow all ready…

  • More Snow

    It's been snowing all day yet again. I am really getting tired of this. The sun shone yesterday and reduced the amount of snow but I found that instead of it soaking into the ground the water is being held up in the snow. This just shows that the ground doesn't need any of this…

  • Snow Update

    We got about 16 inches of snow with 3-4 foot drifts so far out of the storm. I've been busy all day getting to the cattle and getting them fed. What little I looked around everything appeared to be all right. The cows and calves are all bunched up in a brushy draw to get…
