Sunday Afternoon Wind - Both North & West

It has been quite warm the last week of so.  The ice on the back lawn is melting and is almost gone.  But the cold front that come in this afternoon will stop the melting and start a build up of ice.  This is the way that it looked morning.

This afternoon the wind came from the south and seemed to blow harder and harder.  I did some watering and the next four pictures were of house four.  When I finished the watering the wind came just as hard from the north.

Looks like quite a job to get that fixed.  I may have enough to coverer it left over from the last time I covered it.  The house is 48 feet long and I bought a roll of poly 100 feet long.  There is some under the house and I hope that is what I need.

Wind, Rain, hail, and Snow

It was fairly warm this morning for this time of the year.  I believe it was in the high 40's.  Mike our roofer came over for a while to clean up some.  He started putting a few shingles down, but the wind was blow so hard that it would blow the shingle back in his face.  He then went home.

Early this afternoon the south wind was blowing hard.  Some of the old poly on a couple of the greenhouses began to tear.  A little later the wind changed from the north and was a lot colder.

I am the ward historian.  I worked on that for nearly two hours.  I had a few emails with some of the history from the young men's president.  It took awhile to get that part looking good.  I haven't heard from the other organizations.  I spent an hour on making an email group of six, where I could email them reminders.  I got that done and mailed each of them a reminder.

Tiger, our cat, is on the roof and there is about two inches of snow.  I don't know how he gets up there.  There are no trees close enough for her to climb and jump to the roof.  I made a long board from two pieces of wood which gave her a ramp to climb down.

It began hail and then to snow around three.  The snow stuck to our satellite dish which prevented the signal from reaching our TV.  We have a light weight broom with a tubuler handle.  I found a one by one ten foot piece of oak in the garage.  I carved the end so it would fit inside of the broom handle.  I inserted wood into the broom handle.   With this tool I was able to sweep the snow of the dish while standing on the ground.
