It is so cold, that if the current temperature trend and falling snow don’t let up, I’ll be at the ranch all day tomorrow “busting ice.”

What is “busting ice”, you might ask?

Well, just as the name implies – it is me and a shovel, clearing the ice from the ranch troughs so that the cattle and goats can get to the water which has been covered by the ice. In a nutshell, busting ice involves dressing like a Yeti and freezing my butt off.

It has been ten years since I had to do this…that’s how rare this type of freeze is here.

I’ll get pictures if things turn out as I suspect they will…they should be fun and good for a laugh. ;-)

How is the weather in your neck of the woods?
