Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful. That's the song we were singing yesterday here. My Mom and I tried to go to town, but the county road that we live on was unpassable. So, I could say, we are officially snowed in.
Sure the snow can cause some difficulties during the winter months, but it is a true blessing in the long run. The snow in the picture will become spring run-off, which will supply the country side with plenty of moisture and will come down the creeks for farmers and ranchers to irrigate with. Where I live it is much to dry of a climate to dry land farm. We must take our alloted portion of the creek and distribute it across our meadow land to produce a crop.
My family and I use flood irrigation, which is not only benificial to us, but to the water table and the land as a whole. The land is an awesome tool in which to store water in, acting like a sponge and gradually releasing it.
While the white stuff is mighty abundant and spreads as far as thee eye can see, it will soon turn the country side green for the livestock and wildlife to enjoy!
