Snow

Season's Greetings to all our loyal blog followers and best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2011.

We've been closed during Christmas and New Years to take some family time. The break has been wonderful!

Cutting out dead canes, placing new ones and pruning is coming along just fine. We've replaced several broken end posts this year (three still left to do) which is very unusual. With all the torrential rains, we've also experienced some erosion in the vineyard rows.

It started snowing yesterday and continued through the night into this morning. We're still experiencing snow showers, but it has tapered off considerably and we are expecting freezing rain to start sometime this afternoon. In combinati0n with wet roads and below freezing temperatures tonight, the roads will become dangerous. Luckliy we're stocked up with food and goodies and will weather this storm just fine.

God Bless, Barry
