Loud Blowing Snowstorms

I am unable to post pictures at the moment, so my kind, patient readers will have to be content with text. Last week we were treated to loud blowing snowstorms every day. In fact, a 40 mile stretch of the highway that runs by my house was closed. This is generally due to poor visibility or the inability of the plows to keep up with the drifting snow.

The highway closure forced my husband to stay with some coworkers overnight since he could not come home. We were both going to go to a sled dog race last weekend, but he could not get home in time, so I went by myself. In my next post, I will tell you all about the race. It was quite the chore getting the snow blown or shoveled out enough to get my dogtruck onto the highway. Luckily they had reopened the highway before I needed to leave.

One chore that had to be done before I left was to lift up each and every doghouse on top of the drifts. The amount of new snow and drifting meant that the houses would have disappeared from sight before I returned from the race if I did not raise them all at the very last minute before leaving.
