WHITE POWDER

Moisture in Montana is a welcomed ocurrence these days, even if one has to shovel it off the deck, driveways and walkways. Arriving yesterday afternoon, we were soon greeted by winter's return: lots of snow and plummeting temperatures and wind chills. A moisturized Pacific storm working mano-a-mano with an Artic blast from neighborly Canada. This morning we had a foot of white powder, with 2-3 feet drifts on our deck. At this time we are "stuck" up here (such hardship!) until the plow clears the neighborhood and our driveway. The familiar sound of our snow shovels "pavloved" our herd into looking for cob. I told them they'll have to wait until we can go into town, but they just don't understand why a snowstorm would have us stranded up here . More pictures later, after we warm up a bit inside our cozy abode. JIR
