last Friday we lost power for 12 hours, never had that in my 19 years at this place. All the ice brought lines down everywhere. Saturday it came back on and rained all day, melted the ice off the lines. Got the yard cleaned off really good. Sunday was decent in the am, and the pm started the storm. Yesterday was one of the worst visibility days I ever remember and yet traffic was steady all day. I get a call from a guy in town, looking for a kid #1that is lost between us and a neighbor 1 1/2 miles away. Kid #2 had gone to the other neighbor to get scoops and came back and the kid #1 was gone. An hour later, here comes our neighbor with a payloader with Kid #2 following in his blazer still looking for kid #1. I thought we'd find him dead in a snowbank this am, but someone must have picked him up and brought him to town. Stupid people (mostly men I must add, sorry, no offense, but it's true) always think they can make it. Stay Put!!!
