Yep, "too cold to snow". If there are clouds, the "heat" stays in and we get heavier and potentially more snow.
No clouds, much colder as the heat escapes.
Coffee anyone ?

Well.. I actually raised my voice at the kids... 
and 
to me.
Kid 3 had parked his 4 wheeler off of the parking area but straight shot behind my car. With all of the snow I had to gun the car to get it out and was worried I would shoot over the parking area and hit it.
And my car, though started up for me was NOT fully cleared of snow.. ...
Anyway... I finally managed to get out of there, and kid 3 made sure I got down the drive (following me on the snow machine).
Turns out he then turned on the plow truck, used it to jump the 4-wheeler, reparked the plow truck and then plowed the half mile of driveway and the parking lot with the 4 wheeler (he is just 15 and has no license, we don't yet let him plow with the plow truck... it is a beast and costs over a hundred bucks to tow it out when you stick it in the ditches that line the driveway).
He got all of that done in 2 hours so he could be ready for pick up by the grandparents.
He must have been flying.
And guess what... all of his toys are now parked FAR away from my car and parking spot... and I am no longer mad.

Needed the coffee, thanks for starting a pot.
Up early. One of our farm kitties is getting fixed today and I am sitting outside the vet’s office waiting for drop off time. At least he owns a ranch so I can sit and look at horses on one side of the parking lot and cows on the other. His goats are too far away to see, but he has a nice herd of them, which is why we started bringing our goats to him. He’s a great vet. His sister actually handles the pet side and he handles livestock only.
Then it’s off to town. Today is my youngest’s birthday and I need to pick things up for Saturday’s celebration. Why do they have to grow up so fast? (Said in my best mama whine

That is terrible! Too early to ask how your SIL is doing, I'm sure she will be in shock and lost for quite some time.

Sorry for the loss. It seems that this past year there have been so many deaths with the people being "too young". 51 is too young, as were the several losses we had here. It is one thing when a person is in their 70's or older, but in their 50's is still their "prime" in so many ways. Condolence's to your wife and her family.
