Winter 2010/11 on the Ridge

Since we've lived on the Ridge this has been the coldest winter on record with the most snow!

We had a considerable amount back in November but it had almost all disappeared or turned to ice with the chinook winds in December.

On the prairie the snow is knee deep and still fluffy with some hard pack underneath, this will all change when the wind begins to blow next week.

A rare moment when our road isn't drifted in and snowplowed, it seems the county always leaves us until last.

The kids have been enjoying snowmobile rides on a regular basis, which has been a novelty for us since snow has been such a rarity.

Our backyard bush bunnies have decided to eat my sage bushes versus digging through the deep snow to get to the grass. Since the girls are opposed to me using them for coyote bait I will have to look at spraying the remaining bushes so they don't get eaten next. With the shenanigans I noticed in the backyard the other day I think we can look forward to a good bunny crop this year which will mean the snakes will be well fed!!!
