Snowstorms in February

Three snowstorms in February kept us snowbound more than any winter we've lived on the farm. But, it hasn't been too bad for a number of reasons: 1. Temperatures. Snowstorms in February are preferable to ones in January. In February temperatures rarely dip into the feet-numbing single digits. Temperatures in the teens and twenties make it easy living for the animals and us. 2. Attitude. During our early years on the farm, being snowbound was a new concept for us, and we fought it. Now, we've come to accept it.... though I still get squirrelly. 3. The Olympics. I love the Winter Olympics... and being snowbound gives me an excuse to indulge in them... though the husband says he can do without the Winter Olympic commentary I provide when we're hiking through drifts to get to our vehicles parked at the end of the driveway.
