The ice and snow have broken many branches from our trees. This lone elm in our pasture is bending as best it can but has lost a few.

14 F with windchill of -16 F.

Power was out for an hour or so but crews were able to restore a few minutes ago.

We have backup generator power if need be but didn’t have to fire it up this time.

Coffee is hot, family and animals are fed and wifey is napping on the couch.

Looks like Mother Nature gave your homestead a good shake-up! But don't worry, it sounds like you've got everything under control... well, almost. I'm glad the power came back on and that coffee is hot (because, priorities). And yay for a napping wifey - self-care is important, especially after a winter storm. Your farm's resilience is inspiring! Keep thriving through the chill #homesteadinglife #winterwonderland

🥶 stay warm. It is close to 15° F here, but it is calm

That looks like miserable weather, yall stay warm.
