We have been having a blizzard all day long. I was going to pay the boys who worked for me and give them some gifts for their family, pick up a prescription, pay my annual rent for a cash leased farm, but I have been home watching the snow blow. We have drifts almost 8' in places. 4-6' on roads and around the house. My tall drifts are where I hauled in hay last night. You cannot see trying to drive for the blowing snow. We got a half inch of rain prior to the snow, followed by sleet, and this makes everything really slick. I had to tell my children and grandchildren not to come. The sun is trying to break out right now. It is a mess. We are not in Kansas or Nebraska. We are in north central Texas. The electricity is flickering. Winds have been up to 49 but are 28 now with gust to 40. My cattle are all white, and you cannot tell their true colors, must be politicians. Some I can read their tags. I opened the barn stalls and they filled immediately. The ones on the north wheat pasture have no protection at all, so we are in hopes the winds will die down soon. It is to be 10 tonight. Has been 24 today.
