Holy Cow!! We haven't had a winter like this for years! Eugene made it home from work, but just barely. They closed the road from Soda to Montpelier shortly after they left to come home. He was 15 minutes late getting home. He went to gas up the work car in case they can get to work tomorrow. He said he learned at Maverik that all roads leaving Montpelier are closed. The wind is blowing hard. There were two avalanches in Montpelier Canyon today. Someplace in the valley a baby was born at home because the mother couldn't get to the hospital. An ambulance was called out to take baby and mom to the hospital, but the ambulance couldn't get to the home. I was supposed to be to a meeting in Soda tonight at 7. Needless to say, I stayed home. It will be interesting to see what happens in the morning. Eugene has been snowed in at work several times, but never snowed in at home when he needed to be to work.
