Wapiti with an Arrow: December fun

It's finally winter in north Idaho! We have received about two feet or more of snow in the past 36 hours or so...shutting down the interstate from anything but emergency travel, shutting down side streets, shutting down even getting to work! Yep, it's just that insane right now. Kinda fun if you ask me.

I spent 2+ hours this morning just shoveling my truck out only to go to work and find it closed. Since then, another 8 inches has fallen and it just keeps coming down. Seems like this will keep up through tonight, then the temperatures will dip into the single digits again.

With my two mile drive to work, I saw two stuck semi trucks and three passenger vehicles stuck in the snow. I nearly got stuck driving down the side street to work...in a truck...in 4-wheel drive! It's entertaining as long as nothing at the house goes to hell. Currently I'm trying to decide if I want to chain up the truck in anticipation of crappy driving conditions later this weekend....and if I want to just jump on the opportunity now before the snowplow buries my truck again. Anywho..

I went on a walk the other day, the first three photos. The rest are just along my road here hours ago. I can't say it enough, it's just fun! I saw a guy poking around town on a snowmobile today...something you expect to see in Seeley Lake, but not downtown CDA! LOVE IT.
