Ora Truitt's 76th Birthday

Beth, Rae Lynn, Brett, Ethan, Luke, Owen, Brody and Weston are at the cabin.  JC is bringing Tucker, Maggie, and Andrew to cabin later today.  It has been snowing, about a foot of snow every to every other day.  I spoke to Jill Christian; her husband Don Christian has a crew and equipment and contract with people who own cabin in Timber Lakes to keep their driveways snowed plowed.  This year they have been overwhelmed.  They are in a white-out now and their crew is up at the highest elevation where they was a foot and half of snow last night.  Timber Lakes road crews are working around the clock trying to keep the roads open.  They leave snow banks 4 foot high in front of the driveways to the cabins.  The families that have contracted with Don Christian to plow their drive ways are able to get out, other families can't.  They plowed our drive way yesterday but it will be tomorrow before they can get back to plow it again.  By then there will be another foot of snow that has fallen.  

I moved the Land Rover back in our drive from the street.  I parked it in the street so Beth could park in front of our home.  I also took the garbage container to the street.  Garbage pickup is today by the city.  Later I brought our garbage can back to the house.

This evening the temperature dropped from 45 degrees F. to 0 degrees in about 30 minutes.  Snow started falling and winds that blowed the snow sideways to where there was a whiteout.

The children are all OK.
