How has your stock handled the cold, Cuppa? Our goats have been constantly moving to escape the worst of the wind and rain.

Love it! I wish I was waking up to those sorts of sceneries. During my younger years I was growing up in shoulder height snow during winter. Haven't seen that for 20 years now.
Beautiful shots Cuppa.

You could buy our 76 acres of mountain for the price of a Sydney car port! Bargain self sufficiency & surrounded by 4wd bush tracks in every direction. We're hoping it'll be on the market within the next couple of months. ;)

About to find out. Am going out to feed out a bit of hay to the cattle. Had to go into town to the Doc's first thing this morning, just got back, snow has turned to light drizzle at the moment, so I suspect the snow will be short lived. It averaged between 2" & 4" deep this morning. Deepest non drifted we've ever had is thigh deep in years gone past. Usually get two to four light falls like this each winter, but this winter's been mild & it's the first we've had. Looks nice but it's a pain in the arse. Snow always means extra work in some way.

600 metres Winnie.

Just back from checking things. All good, including the youngest of the lambs (9 days old). Cows were keen on the hay judging by the way they charged up the hill when I called them. Goats had found a spot out of the weather. No trees down. After a week of extremely high winds (could feel the house shaking & it's a brick house!) it's great to have some relatively calm weather again.
Amazingly for here with all the weather we've had in the past week, our power has only been out once for around 4 hours. We are at the end of a SWER line & power loss is fairly common whenever we get heavy weather, but is usually restored within a few hours. More of an inconvenience than a problem when it occurs though. Our cooking & heating is all either wood fired or gas & if I really need to use a power tool, I just fire up the little Honda gennie. We also have a couple of emergency battery powered LED lights indoors. Actually when it happens, getting snowed in is quite nice & cosy generally, especially as I get to have MrsTea home with me for an extra day (or two). Because we are only a little above the snow line, if we turn left out of our driveway & head down hill the snow generally peters out within a couple of kilometres, but gets deeper if we turn right & head higher towards Balook & Mt Tassie.
