2012 at the Hammond Barn

[RHClarke]

As the old year winds down, a few more photos of our snowfall will have to do until 2013. We now have more snow this winter than we had combined last winter. The first blast of winter included a lot of freezing rain, wet snow and flurries followed by some cold arctic air. This accumulation put some serious stresses on our shelters and the shed, so the past week has been dedicated to snow clearing and removal. It will be nice to get back to work on CMPs, but that is a small price to pay to live in and near Hammond!

Happy New Year to all!

Spent the better part of today relocating some of the snow to make room for the next storm. Redoing loose nuts on the snowblower and fixing the Ford with loose mud guards and installing the winter grill cover.

Sure appreciate the muscle power from both Rob and Grant.

...and as soon as all the heavy snow falls off the barn roof will have to do it again.... make sure you look up before you slam the side door or whoommph!!!

That pretty well wraps up this year.....

..... so a

Hi Bob and the Hammond guys.

I really enjoy following your escapades in the barn and playing in the snow. I look forward to your thread in 2013. All that snow in Canada is such a difference to us here at home in South Australia where they are predicting our temperature for Thursday and Friday at 41 and 42 degrees. Bit hot for this old boy born in the snow in Holland.

A Safe and Prosperous 2013 to you all.

Cheers

Tony
