what very cold looks like

A piece of an icicle I found in front of the lodge

 Trying to stay warm while out feeding the horses! The sun was out but boy was it chilly!

 Poor trashcan... it was under the corner of the lodge and turned into our very own icicle jellyfish

                                      Icicles taller than me!

Snow overhang on our roof, warm enough for it to slide down but too cold for it to break off. I thought it was very silly looking

Winter Wonderland

Well, it finally snowed in Durango! I was glad it came before we left for Oregon for Christmas. This is the first time I've lived somewhere that gets so much snow...and gets so COLD!! We have many negative degrees days and nights so far. But when the sun is out and there is no wind, it is very fun to be out in the snow, even if it is freezing cold!

This bench in front of Alpine lodge looks so pretty in the snow

Feeding the horses in the snow out of the back of our feed truck...brrr!!

Sunny's first time to live outside in the snow...I don't think he minds as long as he has lots of hay!

Sam filling the water. We have to keep a trough heater in the bottom or it would freeze solid
