Thankfully the snow has subsided now, the place is still looking fairly white but I don't think it will last long, probably clear by morning.
When I was out checking the animal and feeding up I noticed a few sheep around the farm, that means the electric fence is down (we don't have any sheep) and they have come down off the mountain and through the fence. So my job was then to walk up over the side which is very steep and slippery to repair the electric fence Grrrr!
