Yes I saw them like that as the snow settled and thought it spoke of the quiet at the end of winter just before the spring flurry. A bit like a Robert Frost poem. So I went and got my phone and took the pic.
Geese were flying over today. They can probably find something to eat around Lake Champlain but the pickings are going to be slim for a couple of weeks yet.

South Dakota would like to have some snow. Kind of coincidental how we have been talking about no-till and then this happened about 10 miles from where I grew up. The reason for it being so out of control is that the no-till leaves a lot of plant matter on top of the ground providing good fuel source. Even tractors with 30'+ discs in cornstalks would not cut a firebreak because there is so much trash left on top that in the winds it just keep burning across the worked strip. Everything has its drawbacks!

That's awful. We occasionally have fires here. We have a lot of land that is put into CRP. When that grass catches fire it goes like gasoline.

Knowing how the wind can blow in South Dakota I can just imagine what it would be like to be in front of that wall of fire on foot. In a dry wheat stubble field the front would almost advance at the full speed of the wind.
