Cath Payne said the sky had cleared and she had decided to feed the cows when the weather turned and the snow fell.
“The temperature on the side of the house reads -.5, but it feels like 2 or 3 below, it’s cold,” said Ms Payne.
“I was out feeding the cattle because the sun was out and then I just got hammered,” she laughed.
“It’s moving pretty fast, so I don’t know if there will be much in it,” she said.
“It’s very unpredictable, so who knows what we’ll wake up to,” Cath Payne said.
