[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 342083, member: 642"] Any of the rest of you Old Fossil's remember the March of 66 3 day blizzard? I remember it well and we had tons of snow and wind. Nothing to have 20 foot drifts in our yard. We were calving and my Dad and I did 12 hour shifts in the barns, working with the cattle. Had a heavy rope from the main barn to the farm house, as you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Still remember him saying, whatever you do don't let go of the rope until you are at the house or the barn. Our quonset on the ranch was completely covered with snow and that was 20 some feet tall. We were lucky and didn't lose any livestock at all. We raised pigs, cattle, horses, chickens, geese, pheasants, and wild turkeys. Some went hungry for a couple days as we couldn't see to get to the pig barn or where the winged birds were kept. They were fed extra heavy a few days prior to the storm as were we well informed that it was coming. Of course no one thought it would be what it ended up being. We had to wait for the County to bring out the push cat and their payloader to clean out our yard after the storm as our loader was in the quonset and covered with snow. I don't think our loader would have done squat anyways as the snowbanks were like concrete. [/QUOTE]
