Wacky Weather

The weather on the ranch lately has been wild! Last Sunday (Feb 12) we got snow! Last Saturday (Feb 18) we got flooding! One thing about it, we are so grateful for the moisture! Our drought situation is getting better and better with every drop!

A huge improvement from earlier this year

I tried to get a few pictures of the snow. It was impressive in real life, although the pictures don't do much justice. Typically in February, we get a skiff of snow. This stuff didn't stay on the ground, but it was sure pretty to watch it fall!

Wyatt checking out the weird white stuff falling from the sky. Meanwhile, his brother and sister were running around trying to catch flakes on their tongues
They were the nice, big puffy flakes!


This past Saturday was amazing! The rain started Friday evening and rained hard off and on all through the night. By Saturday morning, there were rivers running through the property. By Saturday afternoon, the rivers had run off, but that didn't stop the sky from opening up for a few impressive downpours. JL recorded aprox 3.5" in the rain gauge!!

We couldn't help but al gather on the porch to watch one of the most impressive storms late Saturday afternoon
Can you tell how much is pouring from the roof? The gutters couldn't even filter the rain away!





I love this kind of weather! But it is especially fun on the ranch!
