This winter we had a fair amount of snow. We got about an inch or two (3-5 cm) in early January and almost 4 inches (ca 10 cm) in late February.

Snow is a bit of a problem when you’re trying to take care of farm animals. The horses themselves are OK if they have blankets, but the pasture turns into a mud pit as the snow melts. The goats are not fans of the snow, and prefer to stay in their shelter (or in the hay shed, which gets more sun in the mornings). The emus are just perplexed, every time, and stand around shivering. We try to encourage the birds to go into the shelter, but only with mixed success. Patou, on the other hand looooves the snow. when she goes out in the morning and there is snow on the ground, she get the “puppy zoomies” even though in general she is now more of a middle-aged lady at this point.
