Im just south of the blast zone.  My brother in law was stuck at the bridge Wed trying to come down for a hockey tournament for his kid. Waited 12 hrs to cross. Due to ice falling off the towers and cables. Now theyre stuck trying to go home on the south side. Full blown blizzard. Highways closed, bridge closed, sounds like its now gonna let up till Tue. Poor deer are in for a rough one too.

When I ran my beaver float line yesterday in Midland Co, I could hear generators running at every stop.

Wife just checked when she fed the horses, we picked up 30 inches so far today and it looks like we have another 25 hours of snow before it lets up. Plows haven't been through yet and every business is closed so even if we could get out of the driveway, there is no where to go. lol Would you mind telling us the county where you live?

Dickinson county, just south of the Marquette county line.

Yep,we're getting it good.Drifts 4'-5' in the yard,let the dogs out to do their business and they disappear in the drifts.Wind is causing a lot of problems power is out just south of us.We filled the wood rack and an otter sled with stove wood thinking that would be plenty now your eyeing it wondering if its going to be enough,I told the wife now we have to find the wood pile!Haven't heard a snow plow yet.On the plus side we're eating good,the wife baked an apple pie,blue berry muffins,were not going to lose any weight!I can't remember the last time I saw a storm like this.

make babies by all means, we need more babies of trappers. but in all seriousness, yall know what to do, i would not. be smart and safe, use this down time for family time. Were all good here, plows came through and we got the driveway cleaned out as well as a trail to the hay and animals. Still blowing hard so there will be a little more drifting to deal with but for the most part we are back to normal. Pulled 2 neighbors out who were stuck trying to get out of their driveways and the girls are talking about taking a ride into town.
