Went to feed the horses. For those of you that don't know don't worry about them have snow and ice on them that actually works as an insulation for them and keeps them warm underneath. Dottie has more on her because she doesn't like to stay in the barn as much as Leo does. It comes about half way up my mucks so we have about 6 inches and it's supposed to keep snowing until about 4:00.
