Getting Ready for Upcoming Show and....Snow?

Monday is here!

We are still hopeful that spring is right around the corner, but the weatherman is calling for a mid-week snowstorm this week. Wait, what? What happened to the nice 50-degree weather we were having? Here is the statement issued by the weather center as of this morning:

... Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Tuesday evening
through Wednesday evening... 

* precipitation type... snow.

* Accumulations... more than 5 inches possible... with the potential
for significant snowfall somewhere within the watch area.

* Timing... precipitation mixing with and changing to snow 
Tuesday night. Snow continuing into Wednesday evening.

* Temperatures... in the lower and mid 30's.

* Winds... northeast 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

* Impacts... difficult driving conditions. Heavy wet snow and 
gusty winds could lead to power outages.

Precautionary/preparedness actions... 

And guess what? Just in time for the snow storm, owner of Southwind Farm, Sheri Thornley, has been preparing to head down to Southern Pines, NC for the Southern Pines Horse Trials. How lucky! Loading the trailer, getting hay together and even clipping horses! Sheri is prepared and ready to go! We wish her the best of luck! We also hope that all of our boarders here in Damascus, MD stay warm and safe if this storm does come!
Sheri's horse, Ari, says he's ready for competition!!
