First Blizzard of 2016

November 18, 2016

Snow, 

plus strong winds, 

plus open prairie, 

equals

blizzard conditions!

Is the road there somewhere?

Oh, yes! When a grove a trees blocks the drifting snow, you see all the ice!

But the drifting makes a prairie sunset even more beautiful!

Thankfully the snow had stopped falling by the time I needed to get to town. Earlier in the day when the schools wisely canceled, our county sheriff sent out a call advising no travel on our prairie roads. I doubt we could have seen the nearest power pole then!
