Spring Storm, a photo post.

Modified: Dec 2, 2025 · Published: May 22, 2017 by Kay Schrock · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

Last week we had a couple days of snow. We often get some snow on Mother's Day, but this year the holiday was warm and beautiful. I thought maybe we were safe. But no. About Wednesday evening, it began snowing, and snowed through Friday noon. We received about 15-18 inches of snow.

Unfortunately, it is calving season, so the guys had to ride through the herd frequently to save calves. My man was out from first light (4:30 AM) till dark (9:00PM), checking cows, bringing cold ones into the barn, etc.

We did pretty good though, and yesterday a lot of the snow melted. Today we had a few more snow flurries, but nothing that stuck.
