Maybe MJ will be wrong...maybe the double dopplers and the weather stations have made a mistake, maybe.......This morning I buried my head under the pillow and tried not to hear, I wriggled under the comforter ( it was a nice place to be, I'd love to have stayed !!smile) and hoped it would be finished before I had to come out. Long term forcasts are consistent....its going to be a BAD winter. I'm not a fair weather cowgirl, I can do rain and I can do mud, wind doesn't bother me ( I came here from the windy NW of England) ..but snow and frost are a different matter. Two years ago when Greg had his previous back surgery we had the worst blizzard in umptyump years. I remember vividly having to dig out gates before I could even get into the ranch, every water trough was frozen solid and froze again as I filled them. I trudged the 40 acres in the snow searching for the animals, dug ditches and hated every moment. I used to love to watch the pretty snowflakes, I loved to see the pure white snow settle and blow into drifts......2 years ago I didn't see beauty..I saw mud, black snow and ice and I was miserable !! I was SO lucky, we had help that arrived in the form of family and friends and my sanity was saved...just. I listen to the forcasts and memories come flooding back..Gregs surgery is going to be early in the year....please God be kind to me and send El Nina somewhere else !!!!!
