Here we are in SD on January 10 with lots of fluffy snow, about 6 inches, that came yesterday, and an inch or so today. It was kind of like someone was up there with a sifter, sending it downward. Luckily, we did not have our typical SD winds, so it has come down and pretty much stayed put. Of course this means that farm yards and calf pens are retaining a lot of snow. I scooped off the back step twice, the second time, the snow was harder, and will get harder as the wind picks up tonight.
When Roger fed cows this AM, he noticed in the tree belt south of us, there were a lot of pheasants, mostly roosters. Some were on the ground, but mostly were in the trees, which is not very usual. As he unloaded his hay, he noticed a very large coyote, rather mangy looking come running out of those trees. This explained the pheasants in the trees, so I'm guessing some of the birds got wise, and others made a good meal for the coyote.
