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.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
