It's our first blizzard of the season for the family unit, and first blizzard ever for me. Blizzard warnings are up Thursday evening and through Saturday morning. We traveled up to Cavalier Wednesday afternoon as conditions were set to deteriorate rapidly. We've already had about 6 to 12 inches of snow here in Cavalier and another 10 to 14 are on the way. But down Grand Forks way they're projecting up to two feet total or more. That's a heck of a lot of snow. We're going to have some digging out to do, that's for sure.
Travel has been deemed virtually impossible and the main interstate (I-29) is closed down completely. Outside the snow is coming down thick and fierce, and the wind is howling at 25 to 30 mph, with gusts even higher, making the snow mostly horizontal.
Taking the dogs outside for potty time is becoming problematic. Tito has no problem, once you get him outside. You actually have to pick him up and underhand-heave him out the door, but once he's out, he'll quickly go and then come back in. Shaak Ti is a bit more difficult as the snow is above her head in most places. There are a few sheltered places (near the garage) that aren't under a foot or more, and we're trying to get to those locations, but getting there is tough.
Speaking of which, I gotta go take her out now....
