Heavy snowfall not only suffers people, but also animals are even more unlucky.

This year's cold wave in the Arctic arrived more than 20 days earlier than in the past, and they have not yet had time to prepare.

The marmots came to the vegetable plantation last night to seek refuge.

There was snow everywhere, and their caves had collapsed when a meteorite fell a few days ago, and they didn't dig them again.

Now a family of more than 20 marmots, large and small, are standing under the eaves to hide from the snow, and their faces are so fat that they are shivering.

Seeing that the black-nosed sheep could enter the greenhouse, there was a little envy in the resentful little eyes, and when he noticed that Han Xuan was waving to them, his eyes lit up, and he quickly ran in.

Under the eaves.

A snake is frozen into a popsicle, brightly colored, and most of Montana's snakes are poisonous, and those that are not poisonous have long been eaten by animals such as bears and eagles.

Anyone who has ever seen a farmer and a snake knows that if you have compassion for this animal, it might bite you.

Han Xuan was naturally resistant to snakes, so naturally he wouldn't be nosy, and when an employee saw it, he stepped on it, and the snake that was more than two meters long made a cracking sound like an ice cube, and he couldn't die anymore.

The snowdrifts are bulging, and the snow is constantly being pushed out.

A hare popped up and breathed heavily, the hole was sealed with snow, and there was no oxygen underground.

As soon as he ran out and walked around, looking for food, a large black and white bird with a body length of about half a meter quickly fell, grabbed it and flew away.

Han Xuan saw its appearance clearly, it was a snow owl, an owl that could come out and move day and night.

Inhabiting the cold regions of the Arctic and Siberia in summer, the snowy owl is very sensitive to heat and can only be seen in Montana between late autumn and early spring, and has been seen several times before. It is a rare bird.

The hare's constant commotion, probably because of the abundance of food in the pasture, caused it to grow fat, and the snowy owl flew up and dropped in height and crashed headfirst into a tree.

The hare took advantage of the opportunity to escape, and quickly dug a hole in its limbs and got into it.

It once again confirms the saying that black and white come out of cute things since ancient times. The snowy owl shook its head to stabilize its body, and after landing, ran a few steps, standing in front of the hole dug by the rabbit and looking out.

The appearance is very funny, with two thick and short legs, which instantly classifies it from a bird of prey to a teaser.

It found that Han Xuan, the guy who attracted him, flapped his wings, a clear smile appeared on his pure white round face, and a pair of yellow eyes narrowed into lines, which could barely be seen clearly.

The snowy owl looked down into the hole. Finding that the rabbit was gone, he walked away.

Hares make up a fairly small part of their diet, as they are more difficult to catch, with lemmings being the main one.

The snowy owl eats 1,600 lemmings a year, but now that it is snowing, the cute mice do not come out to move, so the idea is on the head of the hare, and as for the frightened marmots who poke their heads out. There is too much oil, and it doesn't taste good

The vegetable plantation has employees who like to go hiking. I found a few pairs of snow boots with steel spikes from them, there was no size suitable for Han Xuan, the old way, tied under the shoes with wooden board perforations, and stepped on more than a meter of snow to try, it was not bad.

Find your way to the west.

Walking in the snow. It was more physically demanding than when he was on the flat ground, and Han Xuan, who was only more than 100 meters long, was out of breath, and the heating he spit out blurred the goggles, took them off and wiped them, and followed his father and them.

It occurred to me that if only Obama and Snoopy had grown up. Directly sit on the sleigh and pull yourself, I guess it should be able to do it next year.

Thinking about what age it was, why did he still use a dog to pull a sled, and said to his father: "Go home and buy some snowmobiles, it's too inconvenient to travel in this weather." ”

"Well, I'll have someone send it in a few days, God, I'm tired. ”

"Boss, do you believe in God too?" said George.

"I don't believe it, it's fun, it's more smooth. ”

“……”

The white snow field is dazzling.

Jason and George don't wear goggles, their eyes are red after looking at them for a long time, and if they continue like this, they will develop snow blindness.

Find a stake with a stake that is exposed in the snow, wrap some strips of marked cloth around it, cut it off, prick two small holes with a knife, and tie it to the eye.

About two kilometers to the resort, if they didn't call Lewis back after an hour and a half, they would send someone to look for them, so Jason was relieved that they came out, and this hike was a winter leisure activity.

However, both father and son are disabled, and they have to rest for a few minutes after walking two or three hundred meters, and now they don't feel cold at all.

The sky is covered with light snow, and there are footprints left by voles and hares on the ground, and you can see some large footprints, densely packed.

Han Xuan looked around, straightened his hat, and said, "The snow is almost higher than the railings around the ranch, and an animal has run in, which seems to have been left by a wolf." ”

Daddy grabbed the colorful pheasant that only buried his head in the snow, this is a hen, and the color is far less beautiful than the one in the pasture.

"There is no shortage of food at the moment, many animals are frozen to death, and wolves are so smart that they won't bother to attack us," he said with a smile.

Besides, I still have guns, I can fight them last year, and I can fight them this year. ”

"Come on, I'm really not worried about your skills, it's better to save some bullets for Jason and George when you really run into them. ”

After Han Xuan finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

Dad was going to take the colorful pheasant as a trophy, but this thing was at least a kilogram, which was too physically demanding, so after thinking about it, he lost it and kept up.

In mid-air, the snowy owl immediately descended and ran towards the pheasant.

"My marksmanship is as bad as you say!"

"There is indeed ......"

Stumbling all the way, stepping into the snow with his legs, and then pulling it out and continuing to walk, Father Han pointed to the northwest direction and said: "Someone actually spent tens of thousands of dollars specifically to go to the snow-capped mountains of Ascend Flathead, which was thankless, and an avalanche was all over."

That 3,400-meter-high Kerr Snow Mountain, I have been here for 13 years, and seven people have died. ”

"People are trying to challenge extreme sports, if no one comes to play, then what do you do with opening a resort, in fact, our snow mountain resort can also ...... Arrange for someone to go to the Denkel Snow Mountain. ”

Han Xuan said intermittently, his chest heaving, and he held a wooden stick in his hand to support himself.

"Before going up, use a helicopter to circle around it and shake down the soft snow to avoid avalanches.

In the past, they had to go to the town of Flathead to rest, and it was much closer to the snowy mountain pasture, so we only had to set up a tent at the foot of the mountain, which was the base camp, and ask the guide to take them up.

It doesn't cost much, and there are many cowboys on the ranch who go up the Kerr Snow Mountain every year and are familiar with the roads. ”

"This business can be done! Just pay a sum of money to the park service, and you can have another project to attract tourists."

It's not that dangerous not to have an avalanche, I'll find some professionals to come and help me get it later, and I'll have to contact the tour company, so I'll be able to ski in the near future.

No, I'll rest for a while, I'm out of breath."

Dad was lying in the snow, feeling the cold, he immediately sat up, and Lin Hai from Flathead in the distance appeared in front of him, and said helplessly: "Why is it still so far away." ”

Jason looked back at the way he came and smiled wryly, "We've only walked more than 400 meters, and we still have two kilometers to go" (to be continued.) )
