The wind blew in a horrible cold snap….40 degrees at the beginning of the day, then a rapid drop to 16, with lots of wind and some snow.
This morning, when I went to do the chores, it was 7 degrees. Then when I went to work it was 6 degrees. Snow is predicated for this afternoon 5-6 inches by nightfall.
Ugh! I drove in on ice and it looks like I will be driving home on ice and in snow!
Some of you have it worse though, so I shall not complain (too much).
Terry started the water, what a mess with all of the wind and trash and wind and trash, oh, yes, I said that. You can see my hair blowing madly about!
The foaming white spots are trash in the furrows. We walk down each furrow knocking out the trash so the water will make it to end of the field.
We had a terrible wind storm, winds registering up to 45 miles an hour. Dust in the air, tree branches on the ground, and the irrigation pipe pick-up and flung around.
The next day was horribly cold!
