Clearly this person has not spent much time in Jordan.

Snow started this morning. We return to our regularly scheduled December.

I realized I need to get a buddy heater or something for the pump house. We run electric heat in there.

Fortunately, my walk around did not turn up anything major.
I did have to do some maintenance of the water post for the horses. One, or both of them must have tried to get a drink while the power was out. The bowl had a lot on frozen mud in it. I suspect a horse pawed the post trying to get it to work. Both of them were thirsty, after I got it back to normal.
While putting hay into their feeder, I noticed a water tub laying next to their loafing shed. I knew it wasn't mine. Where it came from, who knows. The journey left it with a couple of large cracks in it.
There is also a lot of litter caught along the pasture fence line. So one of the next days, that will be a project.
I must say that was quite the sustained wind. Our weather gauge under measures any wind. It was reading 40mph fairly often, so my guess is something around 60mph. It's calm right now, but this evening is supposed to be the garden variety wind of 25mph.

Friend of mine wanting to move to Wyoming from Montana. He and his wife have been patiently watching for the right developed property in the last 3-4 years.
I told him this morning to find some good ground and build a bunker.

Spruce are just plain chitty. Chit for firewood, chitty root system, and chitty needles when dragging branches!
Spruce is a majority of the downfall we clear off the trail system in NW MT every spring/summer.
That's me. We lost one tree but there is a roof laying in the middle of the street in town.

Runaway roof in town took out some poles. Turns out our house is one of a lucky few with no alternative circuit. So no power until tonight or tomorrow for us.

Good luck. You are dealing with much colder temperatures, with your power outage than we had to. I hope you can dodge frozen pipes.
