First Snow

Randy and his son Chris have been working overtime for the last two weeks trying to beat the weather. The crops were all harvested by Sunday morning, and the fields replanted by Sunday night, as the snow just began to fall. Everything is done just under the wire. The space heater is on in the pump house, and the snow plow is installed on the tractor. If the Farmer’s Almanac is correct (because…  science?), we should brace ourselves for Snowmageddon 2015.
