Spring is Around the Corner

Legend states that if the groundhog doesn't see his shadow on Feb. 2 then spring is around the corner. It just didn't state what corner. Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow but Montana Murry did.

Since then we have had two snow storms. One didn't last long and the snow melted in just a couple days. Our last storm we got 12 new inches over the weekend and below zero temperatures.

Mother Nature was playing a mean joke on us. Thursday we had temperatures in the 60's and it was very nice. Friday the wind was blowing and it was cold. I think we had wind chill factors of below zero. I know it felt like the wind was cutting you in half. It started to snow Saturday night and it snowed all night and day on Sunday.

We went to Billings Sunday for our HOG meeting. The roads were ok. Driving lane was clear, however the passing lane was snowpacked. When vehicles passed you especially the semi's we were in a total white out. But we got where we needed to be and back home safe and sound.

Monday morning the temperature was 10 below, at least we didn't have wind. The forecast doesn't sound appealing at all. More snow and cold temps are coming. We are supposed to have 20 below on Friday.

I really hope that this is the last snow storm of the year. Really tired of all the snow. This is the first time in a long time that we have had snow all winter long.
