They'd been calling for a spring storm to hit early Thursday morning and snow all day. Well, they were right.
About 5am it started snowing in Buffalo. By 8am there was a noticeable skiff.
By noon there was probably 3.5", which some had melted as it landed.
By 5pm, there was a solid 6.5" that had accumulated in town.
Made for a pretty day to be in doors.
But I figured I better go check on the horses. Besides, driving in deep snow is always fun.
The neighbor Phil had thrown the kids a round bale a while back. Buck was hammering on it.
It is a cold, wet snow, so I gave the horses some oats to warm their bellies.
They are tough. Snow on their back is actually a good sign that the heat is staying in their bodies and not exiting out their hide.
White Horse to the rescue!
Good stuff. It's nice to lay eyes on the horses in a storm like this. They can actually weather a lot, but they definitely need feed to do so. Ranch on.
