We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had a few more inches of snow the past few days, and lots of wind today. So did we have fun driving into town today. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a stretch of the side road leading to the highway that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cleared on both sides and well exposed to a north-west wind. When we got to that part, there was so much snow in the air that we couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see the drifts at all. Imagine our surprise when we hit a big drift and did a complete 180-degree spin! No harm done, of course \u00e2\u20ac\u201c we just pulled ahead into the clear part, turned around, and took it a little more slowly. When we came home, several hours later, the drifts were much larger \u00e2\u20ac\u201c several feet deep in places, and extending right across the road. We did get hung up in one, briefly \u00e2\u20ac\u201c felt like we were on top of the drift and the wheels weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t contacting the road at all \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but some of the classic back-and-forth did the trick and we got through in short order. Ironically, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a bright, sunny day, and most of the roads are clear and bare \u00e2\u20ac\u201c even on the side roads! Just another one of the fun things about winter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
