a snow storm as bad as this. Just getting to the horses is impossible. I put out bails of hay this AM when I could get out there, but I am sure that many of the bails are under snow now. The horses can not get to the wateres.
It took me an hour to get to the side yard to feed the stallions (which is very close to the side of the house) then out to the barn to feed the horses just out the door of the barn. The snow is piled so high, the horses can not get out of the overhang, at least 5 to 6 feet.
I fell 3x in the deep snow, then could not get up. What a struggle just to get up. This is the time that living here alone could be deadly. so far we have about 15 to 20 inches.
And...it is still snowing hard.
I do not have any idea how I am going to dig everything out and where to put all of the snow. I called the farmer who brings me hay and he will be over tomorrow afternoon to help plow out, but that is not going to help me dig out the dog runs, the sidewalk or the paddock areas to let the horses get to the automatic waterers.
I am getting too old for this. Time to look into moving to Texas near my daughter.
