That's the first winter picture of the season. Looking out over the garden, the morning after the small snowstorm of Nov. 29. Everything was coated in heavy, wet snow that froze to a thick crust overnight. Still a thick crust today, with afternoon temperatures barely warm enough to start melting the top layer. Hard to believe it's time for this already, but it is.
This storm was an odd combination of a lot of rain followed by a lot of snow. The Eel River is flooding into fields filled with snow, which looks interesting. Our pasture is a muddy mess. Hamburger tried to put his front feet up in the feed trough this morning while he was eating; I suppose to get them out of the cold mud. I hope it warms up and dries out for a little bit, or its going to be a messy winter.
