How will we get the groceries home in the winter without them freezing solid? They’ll be in the bed of the pick-up truck exposed to the air! Won’t the cans of soft drinks burst? These were questions our southern brains used to ponder before we moved to the frozen north. Turns out the frozen north isn’t always […]
Hope you all had a great Father’s Day weekend….skipping stones and all! We were planning on driving the entire Going to the Sun Road, but persistent Pacific storms kept dumping moisture over the region. Weather conditions and an additional 6” of snow fell on the road between Triple Arches and Logan Pass preventing crews from completion […]

We reached a clearing and stopped to look at the dark colored river and snowy mountains. To annoy my […]
After an overnight snowstorm, we decided to experience the deep snow in our neighborhood by walking to the store. After walking five blocks, I realized how difficult it was to walk in the snow. The fluffy white stuff seemed like weights on my legs. I began to feel tired and the store was […]
