Weird, Wild, Wacky Weather

 

No, that is NOT a black and white photo, even tho' it looks like it. 

We are currently at the Rafter J Bar Ranch RV Resort just south of Hill City in the "Central" Black Hills of South Dakota. 

We initially received a weather watch regarding snow which was upgraded yesterday to a weather warning for snow 6 to 10 inches at elevations above 5000. We are at 5200.

Yes, we received around 6 inches of snow last night! We were ready! The park had turned off the water and we had stowed all the "water" tools, after filling up the fresh water tank to 90%. 

The high today will be 39 degrees. For most of the morning it has been just under 32 degrees or right at 32 degrees. Mike has been on the roof three times so far, trying to remove as much of the snow as possible to prevent freezing. 

Lindy "shoveled" the snow away from the sewer hose set-up. Again, to prevent freezing as much as possible.

We had decided Sunday to stay a couple of extra days here, anticipating the snow, cold and freezing temps. 

Does that just about cover "being ready?"  And what do you think about our choice on our back yard? Look below for Maddie's thoughts. Do you think she is enjoying it?
