Oh Lordie... wet jeans are the worst thing, especially in winter! Great job getting the gear for Aaron when he's ploughing to keep dry. 👍 Lovely video Jessica. All the best to everyone. Take care from the UK 🇬🇧. Paula 💝

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you friend! Slowly we will be ready for this!

[@rondastafford4970]

We moved to eastern North Carolina in 2022 from Kansas and I miss snow. I enjoy seeing your snow.

[@rondastafford4970]

Tho we never had that much snow like you have in Alaska. It’s a lot of work.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

We missed snow too

[@rachelmick4051]

I am tired just watching Aaron work so hard! I am glad you talked him into a good rest. It is so heartwarming to see how your sweet family all pitch in and take care of each other and your homestead. God bless y'all!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you! I seriously couldn’t hang with him on this one.

[@texasproud8822]

Aaron rocks. Jessica don’t push yourself to hard.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you so much!

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

Jessica please be careful, we don’t want you breaking something because I would so cry, 😢

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh man! It’s normal for me!!! Lol I’ll try though the older I get the more it hurts!

[@bjgardens1916]

Oh no! So sorry you fell and praying for quick healing. WOW! That’s a lot of snow! I do love seeing it but that sure looks like a lot of work. We have been getting up in the upper 60’s with tons of rain. It drizzled rain for 2 days straight so I’m ready to see the sun!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh wow you are warm for sure!

[@christawright2685]

the snow is incredible it's really beautiful but I don't know if I could handle it 24/7 I find the snow and cold exhausting. I admit I'm not in great shape but just watching you walk through all that snow makes me short of breat lol

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I totally get it. I wonder what it will feel like to us later in life.

[@christawright2685]

@@modernhomesteadalaska Hopefully your stamina will continue to grow as you adapt and age in the Alaskan climate and terrain !

[@annbrickwood1320]

I am in the UK. Our whole country would come to a standstill if we had a snowfall like that. Glad you are all safe. X

[@gillgallon9631]

Yeah we would have supermarkets closed .and the roads would maybe get Gritted once a day..if that ! Thank god we are not out in the country side.we would be Snowed in. ....

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

That’s wild I always thought the UK got more snow then it does.

[@riddle8062]

Yeah, here in Oklahoma, we RARELY get much snow; much less, as much as you guys were getting at that point. One inch has been known to shut schools down around my part of the state (eastern). Of course, we do get our fair share of ice. Not good! Poor little Tipper! But she loves the snow, doesn't she? Aaron sure worked hard keeping the snow at bay in the driveway! Bless his heart! I hope your leg heals soon! STAY OFF LATTERS!! LOL! Seriously, stay off of them.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Yes!!! Poor Tipper but yes she is so happy! I’m trying to stay off lol!

[@cindysandhu7281]

Oh Jessica, be careful sweetie...Of corse Aaron can pick you up, especially when you are hurt. Yes you all got tons of snow, we didn't get as much as you but also got dumped on. I'm pretty sure I told you I'm from the Kenai Peninsula. Your chicken and dumplings look so good, like mine actually. Take care family and happy vlogmas # 8 ⛄️

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Lol I was like I’m so chubby you can’t pick me up just help me…… next thing I know I was on two feet with him still holding me! I see myself as big as him in my head because he does not scare me at all. I forget how big and strong he truly is.

[@lynsmith2698]

Hahahah you were right…crazy eh. I have been waiting to see this since you mentioned it was coming. I love the snow and never tire of it. Don’t tell Erin that James has a covered cab on our plow…hahaha. One winter we woke up and all our windows were covered in snow. We had to go dig out so we could see out. That winter we had 6ft of snow on the ground….it was crazy but beautiful too.🇨🇦❄️🎄❄️

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh my goodness! He would have loved one! He had a budget and the closed cabs don’t fit in it. But I do think If we take good care of it he can trade it up in a couple years. I am totally like you! I can’t get enough of the snow.

[@tootalltree2002]

Thank you for sharing. It makes it all worth while. I have my Bogs (they go down to -40° and are still warm) on the wrong feet. It’s tough when you have heavy duty bib carharts on and a thick cathart Jacket. Lol

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Ahhhhh I know life is just easer on the right foot! Lol

[@GardeningLady]

Loved your video of the snow. Here in kentucky we get snow but not like this. Those chicken n dumplins' look so good yum. Keep an eye out for your leg to make sure it doesn't change. I get worried about you. Much love and blessings to you all!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you! It hurts so bad and so far not moving up or down. But it’s good enough we are watching it. Thank you for caring!

[@campbellscraziestlife8435]

We know many families that live there in Alaska across the state of Alaska so let me ask it to experience all the seasons right along with you and yes sometimes TV does not do it justice and sometimes it’s just as bad

I couldn’t agree more!

It’s so cool you have lost 40 lb. Good job ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you!!🥰

[@lynne_c]

I'm from Alabama. The first time I traveled and experienced "real snow" I was not expecting how wet I got. It makes sense, that it gets on you and then melts. But like you said, if it's not part of your life, you don't think about the practical parts. It just looks pretty in pictures. Also learned, it doesn't stay pretty lol.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Exactly. Aaron and I were saying we are not good at making daily things dramatic.

[@lorimcmichael5846]

Hi Jessica- are you allowed to put a cone with blinking light on or in front of the well?

Yeah I’ll see about something like that!

Your video was so relaxing to me. I know you probably think that because you guys were so busy, how can that be!? But I absolutely love the snow! I hate hot weather. I hate being hot! My ideal place to live would be Alaska. My husband is the complete opposite. Lol! We live in Iowa so we get a fair amount of snow here in the Midwest. I think we could get more. But I usually stand alone on that. I love being hunkered in my house Little House on the Prairie style! Thank you for this video! Btw your putting your boots on the wrong feet gave me such a chuckle, because that is me!!😂 Stay safe!😮

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh golly, I sure am laughing at the dogs romping in the snow! Don't you just love dogs. Wow on the well......Guess you will have to put an antenna or something on top, so you won't make the error and plow it......rocks or no rocks, you cannot see them under the snow! YEp, that is a massive amount of snow so early in the winter. That poor dog, with the snow up to her chest...she will sleep like a baby tonight... After watching Aaron on the tractor, no need for him to shower tonight.....Just stand in the shower, and let his beard drip on him.....enough snow in it for at least a 10 minute wash! Ho Ho Ho! Holy cow, you DO have a lot of snow. How long will it take to get to the end of your driveway? Trying on the jackets, reminded me so much of the movie....(forgot the name of it) You know, the little kid that wanted a BB gun for Christmas, and his parents said he would shoot his eye out? Anyway....You reminded me of that! The Sunset is gorgeous. Oh yummy...chicken and dumplings.....You are such a GOOD COOK! Merry Vlogmas to you and yours...........Rest, relax and have a pleasant evening...........Bev in Maine

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Totally agree! Also yes the dogs are the best part of life. I got a sign that says “love is a four legged word”

[@alinelson2]

Oh my...I hate that you got injured and are in pain! It makes me hurt just thinking about you! All that snow is beautiful to watch, but there is so much work involved clearing it for normal activity. I do not envy Aaron and all the plowing he had to do!!! Chicken and dumplings is one of my favorites...am I invited for dinner?...lol!!! Take care of yourself sweet one and be more careful.

That is so interesting. I had never seen that much snow ever. Would you believe, though, that it once snowed 12 inches here in Meridian, Mississippi. Very very rare to get any snow. It is so beautiful but I can see from this video it is a LOT of work. Take care and be careful.

maybe getting old but if I live in Alaska and I buy a tractor I probably wouldn't buy a tractor with no cab on it. to me look like your husband was very cold on that tractor. one of 2 things I would get a plow for that pickup truck or a tractor with a heated cab so i can stay dry and warm. maybe it me I can't handle the cold anymore lol 😂 😂

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh man it took about 9 months to even find a tractor in our budget. It’s an item that is above the value here. Would be a dream if it had a cab of any sort! Even one to just stop the rain and snow on the head.

[@catherinedeleon1462]

Hi! Love your channel! I was googling mammoth headwear, they have larger size hats, (my boyfriend has one cause he has a big head and likes there hats). But they dont have beanies! Hopefully one day i can find some. Some are even too small for me. Just wanted to bring that brand up incase your husband is looking for a summer hat, they are kinda pricy but at least they would fit more comfortably. Wishing you and your family a happy holidays!! Stay safe out there!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Perfect thank you I’m on it!

[@wendyGteH]

Love to watch your vido's!! We have as much rain as you have snow in the Netherlands (snow is more work but nicer to be in). In Austria they have alongsides the roads and around other obstacles (like your well) long poles. So you now where the road is with heavy snowfall. You could also put them around your well as wel 🙂 Did you not buy the black coat? It looked very nice.

If you fall a lot maybe sitting on that tractor isn't a good idea...lol...I can laugh- I fall easily too. lol. On another note, Aaron is a good man. I have a good man too, so I recognize one when I see one.

Yes twice I have tried to order one. And both times they are out. I need to try again.

Nope not this amount or location. Yes other locations do get snow like this. But 70 year old born and raised folks have never had what we have in a life time. We do get this amount but usually it’s spread out not back to back to getting another one Thursday.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jessica, Aaron and sweet family! Oh my goodness Jessica, I hope your alright. That was a nasty fall. The dogs are so cute playing in the snow. I fell down my parents steps when we lived in Chicago. I was heading home and I was 8 months pregnant, it had rained. The rain made the painted steps slippery. It was 20 steps and all I remember was seeing my feet for the first time in months. I wasn’t hurt, but my back was sore and bruised. I thought my poor mama and daddy where going to flip out. You made me laugh out loud talking about putting your boots on the wrong feet and saying you where a toddler, lol. I did a similar stunt. My dad owned a catering and vending company. This was after we moved back to Tennessee. He had a huge catering event at a GE plant, about 500 people. He asked if I would and of course I said yes. He told me what day and time he needed me. So it was about 3:00 am I got up to get ready to go to my dads. I thought I was smart and laid my clothes as shoes out the night before to keep from waking up my husband. I had a two pairs of flat shoes I loved, but one pair was plum and the other pair was burgundy. Both colors match the top I had picked out to wear. I laid the shoes side by side and thought I would decide in the morning when I got dressed. Needless to say, I got dressed in the dark even put my shoes on. I made my way to my dad’s house and walked in where there was several other people there to work that day. My dad said, hun, do you need money? I looked at him really puzzled as to why he would ask me that. I said no, why? He said you have the same shoes, but two different colors. I looked down at my feet and sure enough, I had one burgundy shoe and one plum color. Boy did I feel stupid. Everyone started laughing and now I can laugh about it too. I did call my husband to bring me one or the other of my shoes since he was going to be traveling that morning to another county that was close to my dad’s. At least I would look presentable at the catering. Poor Aaron worked a longtime out in that snow. I’m sure everyone enjoyed your delicious chicken and dumplings. That was always a good stick to your ribs meal on a cold snowy day for my family. I’m glad everyone made it home safely. Beautiful sunset Sorry I’m long winded. Have a blessed night and day!!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I’m seriously crying you are sooo funny!!! Something I would do!

[@WillowsGarden]

@@modernhomesteadalaska life is so real sometimes, I just think to myself and say..what where you thinking, lol. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, then we surely have no sense of humor. My daddy was the biggest jokester and believe me, I didn’t live that one down. He got me a pair of baby shoes for Christmas. That’s ok, I got him a six foot stuffed Noid from the old Pizza Hut commercials because he would imitate that thing. He kept it for years sitting in one of his office chairs. Guess my sense of humor runs in the family, lol. Have a blessed night and weekend!

Well sister Grace!! You must have a doozy hematoma over your injury. Try a warm compress for comfort. I’ll bet you will bruise pretty far down your leg . At 70 I can still take a tumble. Although I admit since I am a “fluffy” girl, I bounce like the Bumble!! If I were a tiny lady I’d probably crumble like a potato chip! Aaron needs a drink holder on his tractor. One that can handle an insulated carafe of coffee. Your home looks so inviting and cozy. I love the feeling of soft light in the evening. Take special care on the roads, remember for as capable and experienced a driver as you are, there are many who are inexperienced or chemically hampered sharing the roads with you. Enough Momma preaching. See you next visit ! Hugs to all. 😘❤️🎄🤶. Momma G

3 run's of a ladder is my limit. I feel you 😊

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Good rule of thumb. Would it surprise you if I told you it was a step ladder with only 2 and I managed that damage!

Oh my--why are your cars not in a garage? Looks like Idaho the last few days. Again why oh why do you not have shelter for your cars?

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Well that would be a dream. It takes time to build from nothing. To this in a little over a year. We have been pricing a shop. Some day. Follow along I promise we will get there.
