It’s nice to be home…
I arrived just after dark… enough to see that my yard is now refilled with limbs and leaves… the first pile I had hauled off BEFORE I left! There’s lots to put back together…
It’s that way across much of the state… the Black Hills were hit much worse than we were here. Here’s a shot of a street in Casper… I bet 90% of the streets look like this… branches down on cars, roofs, fences, and power lines.
I’m not sure how many people are without power still…
Word has it that a lot of livestock died in the Black Hills… they had snow totals exceeding 3′ in some places… How heartbreaking…
Speaking of which, our cows were still on the mountain, but tomorrow they plan on riding and bringing them down… hopefully, they’ll be easy to gather. But, does anyone remember this?
Yeah. The blizzard in October of 2009 caught us pretty good as well. The better, and full, story was told here.
The life of eating out, visiting with people, and shopping is now over… It’s back to cows!
Find me here!
Reminds me of our “October Surprise Storm” in 2006 – worst storm I have
ever lived thru including the infamous “Blizzard of ’77”. Buffalo lost
a third of its trees due to heavy snow falling on full-leaved trees. No
power for 8 days. Hope you were not too hard hit.
