Snowmobile Trail

Well, this is NOT what it looks like here today. It's been blizzardy all day. We have 8" new snow. Did not see another vehicle go by our house today. No snow plow since it's been very windy all day so it wouldn't do any good. We could get out of our driveway so far but probably wouldn't get far. I took a video but it sounded like a tractor running in the background instead of the blowing wind so I won't post it.

Bill made it to his mom's this morning (about 3 miles away) to feed his dog and the cats there in her barn. She's kind of at the top of a hill. There are usually a couple of big drifts at the bottom of the hill and then all around her house. He didn't get stuck there but did on the way home - turned a corner a little too short. A friend came and pulled him out with a tractor. Heard that Diane only got the mail delivered to about 5 houses before she got stuck.

Our temp. got up to around 9 or 10 today but is already down to -3 tonight. Schools all over are closed for tomorrow, and I won't be going to my dental appointment. Going to be really cold tomorrow night. We're really glad we're not building a house this winter!

Oh!!!! This is a picture of the Three Rivers Trail that starts near our house and goes east many miles. It's a great trail in winter for snowmobilers although it's been too cold for riding this winter!
