Wednesday was a busy day. It had turned very mild over night. It was 53 and raining when I got up. As the morning went on it got colder and the rain changed to snow. It didn't accumulate much, just enough to make the roads slippery.

We had a little excitement on the next road. A ready mix concrete truck got tangled up in an overhead power line. The line dropped on the cab. The driver knew to stay in the truck until help arrived. The fire department came and everyone waited a while for the electric company to arrive and shut off the power.

In the afternoon, I went over to Verne's to help work some cattle. The weather wasn't too bad and the cattle were fairly cooperative. So, it wasn't too bad a job.

In the evening, Jim and I went to get a haircut. The barber is a friend. Being a small town, he built a little barber shop wing off his house. He holds court there a couple of nights a week. It's a family business as his daughter cuts hair also. Now, his son has decided to take up the trade and is learning under his father's watchful eye.

The barber is one of our diner regulars. He is trying to be able to read this blog on his computer but seems to be having technical difficulties. Jim gave him a few tips and I'll see in the morning if he was successful.

They are still calling for a major snow storm to begin tomorrow afternoon. I'll see how it looks in the morning and adjust our schedule as necessary.
