This barn sits south of Glen Ullin, but I can’t remember how far. It may actually be closer to Elgin. In any case, it isn’t far from where a friend and I managed to take a pheasant straight through the grille of the Subaru at highway speed. Bummer. We got plenty of amazing photos along the way, however.
It almost seems weird to post a photo with snow in it, but according to the National Weather Service we are in for some more of the white stuff tonight. Early in the day today I checked the forecast page to see total snow accumulations predicted at up to one inch. Later in the day it had been revised to “one to three inches.” Now I see that they’re back to the “up to one inch” prediction. Does that put us over the record? I sure hope so.
A friend’s brother talked to a guy in the Dickinson area that reads onions to predict the weather. According to this guy, he has nailed EVERY major snow event in Dickinson this year. He also claims that we’re in for a fantastic blizzard “next weekend.” I don’t know the exact time this conversation took place, so I don’t know if he means the weekend that’s approaching us now (April 25th-26th) or the next one (May 2nd-3rd). I wonder if he’ll be right? I mean, whoever heard of the National Weather Service being wrong?
