Deep Freeze

We received a big dump of snow on Tuesday and then another few inches on Friday night. Now, as predicted, the temperatures have fallen dramatically and the sun has been bright, hanging low in the cold, clear skies.

I spent another day plowing yesterday, trying to keep everything accessible and clear. Last night we attended a Christmas party with the good people from Carol's work. We didn't stay too late as Carol had to work this morning which was just as well as the temperature at the house on our return was -28*C. It hadn't improved much by this morning as you can see from the photo of the dashboard in Carol's car when I started it this morning.

You can see the nice job the new plow is doing in the photos of the house and yard. It rocks!
It is SO nice to have all the wood and hay taken care of this year. We're able to focus the little time we seem to have, doing the things that make life up here so enjoyable - like blogging, for example. I haven't been able to dedicate the time I feel I should to keeping our little blog up to date. Winter is such a beautiful time of year here, I love to share the images that epitomize the reason that we live here and put up with all the little inconveniences that are just part of living on a remote, off-grid ranch.
