The National Weather Service in Billings has issued a Winter
Storm Watch... which is in effect from late tonight through
Tuesday morning.

* Timing... snow is expected to begin late tonight and become heavy
at times early Monday morning and continue into Tuesday
morning.

* Snow accumulation... 6 to 10 inches is possible.

* Winds... northeast 15 to 25 mph.

* Impacts... heavy snow could cause difficult travel conditions
along Highway 212. Cold and wet conditions will be hazardous for
unprepared hunters.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Watch is issued when severe winter weather is
possible but not imminent. At this time there is a potential for
significant snow. Future driving and walking conditions may
become hazardous so it is important to monitor the latest
forecasts.  

When we woke this morning first thing we did was check the weather. And this folks is what we saw 6-10" expected! Ahhh disappointing but we had been watching and hoping that we would avoid this weather all together. So went to the Belle Fourche, SD weather to see if they were under a watch and Nope that isn't the case as of yet! Just wait an hour it changes! They are however, expecting rain and snow themselves. Got me a little choked up thinking about all those that have lost cattle in the last storm and another is on the way, yikes. Well our mission today is get the cows moved out of one field we opened up the other day so they had more grazing opportunity and get them back down in the shelter belt, get more wood in, and make sure things are prepared for this weather in general. Looks like we will again be delayed in getting cows to market one more time!
To see more on what is happening with the folks in SD that lost cattle and some who are still searching please go to these blogs.....South Dakota Cowgirl, Double H Photography and Agriculture Proud

Have a great day everybody!!

    Prayers for you and yours that you will be safe and come through this storm OK. My heart aches for those who have lost so much already due to the weather. Here in east-central Minnesota, it is still warm enough that rain is the only thing in our forecast, although predictions are for a colder, more miserable winter than we have seen the last few years. Global warming? Probably not.

    stay warm and toasty! The Farmers Almanac said it would be a brutal winter for you folks up there, and for us in the Southeast Wet and Cold.....

    I am with Vicki...Global Warming? i don't think so.
