A record snowstorm now...

Here's what the view looks like out our livingroom glass doors now...

Here's what the ground looked like this morning - the first 2 cranes to come land in our south hayfield made their appearance before 8am.

Well isn't this special! So far we've gotten somewhere between 10 and 12 inches of snow, although at the moment there's only about 5 or 6 inches (make that 8 now!) piled up since it's just above freezing ad compacting. It's dropping now,the temperatures are going down, but the storm isn't moving at all. They are predicting, by the time this ends tomorrow morning, a total snowfall of 12 to 24 inches. Oh brother. No, Alaskans don't get snow around here like this...we may live in Alaska but this is NOT normal!
WAHHHHHH!
Ok, there, I feel better, I whined a bit....
back to the woodstove!
And probably no herding again tomorrow.....sigh......

I updated this post several times, I'll leave it now!
