Snow on The Mountain at Briden Farm lends it’s own special charm an warmth! Sounds funny to say snow can add charm and warmth, but when it clings to the branches, fences, and other areas like frosting on a cake, it is best described as adding charm and warmth.
When you’re living off grid, or in an isolated area, being properly prepared for Winter can mean the difference between success and failure. Proper preparations mean survival and when you’re in a remote area it can mean survival.
Now, it’s not like we’re super isolated, but we are a 1/4 mile, or about 400 Meters, up a laneway that is an old Declassified Government Road. So it no longer gets upkeep, or plowing, from the Government. Thus we’re on our own when it come to that!
We had someone’s lined up to do our plowing, and he has had other obligations come up and won’t be able to do it! So, rather than being beholden to someone else, we’ve bought a used Snowblower and plan to do it ourselves! It should be interesting!
November 3, 2020 and although we have had a few spots and sputters it’s the first time there has been any accumulation of snow. It’s not much, just a couple,of inches, but it’s definitely a sign of things to come! While Winter officially starts December 21st, around here Winter unofficially starts when the first snow begins to fall!
