I am just west of Dubuque Iowa. They are calling for 8-15 inch of snow. Then the winds will pick up in the morning to 25-35 MPH continuous with 45 MPH gusts. The temperature is right around 30 degrees which is prime snow weather. Then the temperatures fall starting around noon tomorrow.
With the wind and snow depth we will have super high drifts. I have places in my lane that I have seen 15 foot drifts before with this type of storm. Two of my cattle yards have eight foot tall wind fences around them. I have seen the snow drift higher than the fence. I will have to lock the cattle in the sheds if that happens because the cattle can walk out over the fence. This is what we will have to haul out. Then think about pulling a manure spreader in the field with drifts like these. That is way the JD 4450 MFWD has chains all around. I have had to unhook the spreader even with all of that before.
My cattle in the pasture will go down into several of the ravines and be out of the wind. I know where these areas are and we already have hay there for them. We may not see them for a day or two as they will not come out of the sheltered areas until the wind dies down.
