Bonus Posted February 22, 2018 Share Had a good first day The help I've been giving Ramon and Angel on the farm and trail clearing has helped me to learn Spanish names of tools and also the "way" people work over here. It made it a bit easier to get into the swing today. Working with an old chap called Juan - nice guy with a sense of humor. It's a split day, 10 til 2 and then 4 til 7. Two hours for lunch and a "siesta" during the afternoon. Very common hours over here. Needed the siesta today !

Bonus Posted February 28, 2018 Share Finally stopped snowing this evening after nearly 40cm of snow had fallen in around 15 hours. We are officially snowed in - no way to get the cars out until the snow melts or is cleared. As it happens, Ramon has a tractor so he can clear the road from home to the main road if we need to go anywhere. Looks like another day at home tomorrow . . . . arcitmail and Mntboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take this snow is entirely unseasonal for Ainsa this time of year? Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted February 28, 2018 Share This is the right time of the year for snow, but Ainsa doesn't generally get more than a couple of cm. maybe 5 or 7 at the most. Storm Emma has bought in a whole lot more. Guaso, where we are, is 4.5 km west of Ainsa and generally gets even less because Ainsa is at the end of an open valley up into the mountains (the Bielsa Valley) where Guaso is not. However this storm has come in from the west and the local authorities can't clear it quick enough. Being farmers, Ramon & Rosa have a mountain of food and 2000 odd liters of Casa Vino in the cellar, so we should be ok . . . .

NicoBoshoff Posted March 1, 2018 Share Stupid question, but does the snow not pancake a car at a certain point? Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted March 1, 2018 Share Stupid question, but does the snow not pancake a car at a certain point?If the car is surrounded by 40cm of snow (as it is here right now) you have three problems. 1) Opening the doors. Once inside, the car starts fine :-)2) Getting the tyres to grip (and we have winter tyres and 4 wheel drive) 3) Shirfting the ever increasing mountain of snow in front or behind you!
