The snow keeps shrinking (good thing YEA !)Winter has been long or so it seems with the heavy snows. Hay getting a little low and thought I might try to find a round Bale 5x5 I put out in the Stud Pen just before the winter started. The first pic is looking out across the pen. I had tried to find this bale before with no luck so I headed back out today with a seven foot tile probe and after a few probes I was pretty sure I had found it. I spent about 40 minutes in the light drizzle digging and chopping the alternating layers of snow and ice, Eureeka I finally got to the top of the bale. Second pic is the hole with with the probe at snow level but not touching the ground yet. The last one is the hole with the probe touching the bale for referance. Hope I get it dug out fully tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the farm photos.

Here in my part of Kansas temps are now getting into the upper 50s which is above normal.

I am getting garden antsy and checked some soil temperatures day before yesterday. I found different soils and locations registering from 40º to 52º. It won't take many more days of nice warm days and night to raise that substantially.

As to your frozen tundra---best wishes. Simply don't think I could live where you do. Hawaii would be more my style.
 
on the il wi state line the temps are warm enough
to melt snow a little every day roads and driveways are finally clear lot of snow gone from fields if we get the rain weather guesser says is coming this week we might be able to start hauling manure out of barns and cattle lots.
