You Know It's Getting Deep When...

We're still digging out from the last couple of days of non-stop snow.  Beth was on the tractor for quite a while today, clearing snow from in front of the barns and around the other buildings.  This evening I needed to unhitch the horse trailer and had to clear some more ground to park it on.  So I climbed in the tractor and started clearing.

At one point I looked over and realized the snowbank I was piling the new snow on was getting as tall as the tractor itself.  I stopped the tractor, went inside to get the camera, and took this photo.  It was about 6 p.m.

From this angle the tractor looks taller, but if you look at the cottage in the background, you can see the snowbank is well above the windows of the building.  I think it's about 8 feet high.  This is heavy, wet snow ... ideal for Montana, which is still recovering from a long-term drought.

It looks like it's time to build igloos!
