Wow I like snow, but not that much this early! We don't get snow until January-February and not even then sometimes. The high is 74* today at my place.
Wow..snow Already? I always enjoy your pics and fun comments! Your place always looks so clean. Goats look GREAT! And the chickens look very healthy! You guys are doing some neat things! Keep up the good work! You've come a long way!!!!
Cute pictures! Yeah for snow! We might get some this weekend. I so want some. The picture of the black goat 'kissing' the tan one is cute. "Here a kiss!" "No, okay, fine, you can plant it right there." lol
Thanks!
The black goat is a wether, and he has decided, today, he is in love with May. On that picture he was chewing her eyebrow! He did some mild rut moves, but mostly snuggled her.
NOOOOOO!mg: So not ready for winter and snow! We just got 2nd cut hay in a few weeks ago!
Way too much to do to get ready for Winter... Please keep that white stuff North for a few more months! Thank you!
Whenever we get snow in the valley, it melts by noon. But hey! It gets me out of school! In My part of Oregon in winter it’s either 30-50 and super dry Or 40-60 and super wet. Snow just doesn’t happen

I have a friend that just moved here from Michigan and she asked the other day what time of the year it snows. Some other friends and I had to break the news to her that she has came to the land of snow about 3 days every 8 years or so. She was heart broken!
Actually, snow is ok. We live near Lake Erie and the stupid lake holds onto clouds, so our days are dreary most of the Winter. Thats what I dred, grey, damp days for weeks on end. So, I solved that, I do chores in the night, then I don't have to see the grey! :imok: (Been doing night chores for over a decade, goats are used to it!) :nod:
Your goats look so happy!
We also live near a large lake, Lake Winnipeg.
It freezes up, maybe that's why we have cold sunny winter weather mostly.
Thanks, they are most happy when it is sunny!
We had our first snow on September 9th and got about 8 inches. Then we had nice warm weather for a while until yesterday. Last night it was 6 degrees and we woke up to two feet this morning! Guess I'll spend most of my morning with a snow shovel!
Here's the snow we had in early September. Snowball was pure white when she was born but her spots came out as she matured and now she looks like a dirty snowball!
Sadie says "Hi. Where's my breakfast?"
Back when I still had Butterfly and George. They're in Utah now and very, very happy.
What cuties. I think we are a bit higher up so we got in the negatives last night but I think we got less snow then you. I'm so glad we got snow though. Fires should be more under control now and hopefully saved houses and land and more.
Got up to 10 or 12 degrees and the goats got to come outside. Most didn't need their blankets at that point but since we are probably going back into the negatives tonight was just going to leave them on.
First Salt and Pepper modeling their almost matching blankets. (little guy in the back ran away while i was checking his blanket so that is why it lopsided)
My one goat with ears, lol, and her descendants.
Then all the goats! Just ignore the homeless looking goat in the front, lol.
Where are you guys located? Looks like you got a good six inches anyway. After walking around in it all morning I realize we didn't get 2 feet. We got more like 18-20 inches. It was up to my knees in most places but only some of the drifts were deeper than that. I'm so grateful for the moisture! If November is mild we may even have a bit of a late pasture resurgence. The snow we had in September did wonders for the grass!
Christmas at 54! We complain of the heat when it gets close to 90 lol.
We are up in Elbert county so actually probably not higher but we always seem to be colder. We are on this ridge ... can't remember the name but it always seems to get cold. We had like no wind though so no drifting. It was very fluffy Christmas type snow and snowflakes.
We're at about 7500 feet elevation. We didn't have any wind either, but there are places where the snow gets deeper for some reason (like in ruts). Maybe the ground is just colder in some spots than others. But yeah, it's very nice fluffy winter-type snow. Maybe I'll make some snow ice cream tonight (if the ashes from my wood stove haven't covered too much of it!).
Yep, you are higher then us. I must just 'feel' higher looking down upon the lands all around while the clouds part around us basking us in light as the other lands are shrouded in darkness.
