The plows had to come out early evening because a semi was blocking the road at the curve. They brought out a big snowplow (bigger than normal) and a large snowblower. So they made a path and at least 15 vehicles went through single file. Why they were out.... I don't know! We noticed them about 4 and they were able to move again by 7.
Phil began digging us out about 7 tonight and just came in at 8:30. He says he needs more than just Thursday to get us dug out enough for the hog truck on Friday morning.
He came and suggested I get warm clothes and my camera as he'd take me to see the highway. I know these pictures don't do it justice.... I hoped to show you how much there is!
Basically, the untouched snow is just to the bottom of the mailbox. Before Phil made a cut through the pile the snowplow made:
This is the one lane path on the highway. This is the right side of the path and I found the yellow line. Truly, one lane road.
My front door with fresh snowmobile tracks which are on about a 24" drift of snow. While Phil was moving snow, JP was enjoying the clear & calm evening with his snowmobile.

Wow! I just read this morning about the interstate lockdown for [how many vehicles? ~ alot] in WI. I wondered how much of that you'd get . . .and here is proof positive.
JP has GOT to be one excited kid! :)
