[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 208181, member: 2979"] Pretty much like BBJ. rope from house to barn to milk cows. Our pole barn for the beef cows was filling up with snow so we drug the cows to the main barn one at a time. Didn't have running water in the barn so my job was watering cattle all day. You take a 1200# cow and a five gallon bucket didn't last long. When storm was over you could change the bulb in our yard light standing on the rock hard snowbank. You even had to bend over some. We had bare ground in places and as luck would have it the A John Deere with the crows nest loader and snow scoop was real close to one. Dad run that thing for a week before we got to the township road. National Guard opened up the roads about a week later. There were people in town that had snow-planes and they would run food and meds to people stuck at home.Everyone helped each other and we got through it. Had snow in the shelter belts until May. Don't want to go through that again so making sure today that we are ready if it gets bad. Plenty of back up stuff nowdays. [/QUOTE]
