Hey,

    Got your e-mail today, I guess you can say we got even cooler.  We now have our first official blizzard of the season.  The winds are blowing at 50+ mph and the snow is going straight across.  The drifts build up so fast that the plows can't keep up and since everything is white you wind up stuck in a snow bank before you can see it.  It was real interesting getting home from work tonight.  I ran straight into a big drift across the road, luckily I was going slow enough that I put the 4-wheeler in reverse and was able to back out.  I had to go home by another route and was glad to make it.  From the window you can't even see the stop sign to exit the parking lot and the wind is really howling.  This is supposed to last at least through tomorrow.  We hope it ends be Saturday as we are supposed to fly out for 2 weeks in New York.  If it continues past tomorrow the hospital will put emergency measures into effect since without any planes flying they can quickly run short of supplies, even medicines and blood.  Carlo heard something strange today.  The elders believe whenever there has been a tragic death (like the couple that died in the airboat), within a few days of the funeral there will be a bad storm to wipe away all footprints and cleanse the area.  Well this storm is certainly doing its part.  Ya'll take care
