It snowed a lot yesterday – maybe a foot at the house (we are down on the main valley floor near Winthrop, elevation about 1760′ ). Last week our snowplow guy called and said the engine on his truck had gone out and he wouldn’t get it back until Thursday Jan 10th. We hoped there would be no major snow until then, but obviously that didn’t work out. Then this morning, Rick went out to run the snowblower around and it wouldn’t start. Actually it isn’t even trying to start – it has an electric starter and absolutely nothing is happening.
But we can get in and out of the driveway OK especially with the Toyota Tundra in 4WD. We called a neighbor up the road to see if he can come and plow our driveway out sometime today. Meanwhile it is supposed to warm up to the mid-40’s today and possibly even rain a little. YUCK! Then get cold again starting tomorrow.

Nice Katie and pretty pictures. You are not alone, and at least you have a big rig. We have today off on Admin leave, but many people are stranded on the west side of the reservation– such a big load of snow. Cheers, Janet
