We've had 3 measurable snow falls so far. I told Stan the formula and he asked, "For that month?" I don't think that one will work here, with the lake influence. We had severe thunderstorms here and at least one possible tornado in the north part of the county last night. Tomorrow is supposed to have falling temperatures, with lake effect snow setting up in the 'hills south of Buffalo' overnight and into Thursday with heavier snow possible on Friday.

Stan's been getting ready for a federal milk inspection. These are basically the federal inspector checking up on the local inspector and if all the farms don't have a 90 points or above score, they can shut down the whole bulk tank unit, or all the farms in the area, from sending fluid milk for 90 days. The milk (which is still actually a fluid) will go for cheese and butter, grade B rather than grade A. Another one of the joys of farming.
