My White Christmas

For the first time in 7 years, we had a White Christmas.  And not just a little bit of one ether!
It started out as rain and sleet but turned to all snow.
Here's what it looked like at 2:00PM

At 3:00PM

4:00PM

And the day after...

Lots of BIG drifts!

The water tank for my horses was just about covered by this drift...

The buffalo were hungry after the storm

And so were the deer!

So we had a great White Christmas this year!:)
