I delivered mail there for years and there was only one time we couldn't get out and that was a huge ice storm that was just incredible. We had no electric for 8 days but after that first day we were back to carrying the mail tag-teaming trying to get it all out. We had no electric but we used miner's hats with flashlights in the office and we all had our 4 wheel drive, with studded tires and each did a half of the route. It was a nightmare for about a week. I can't imagine if that would happen here!Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296781992150172086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-42303352970897330842014-09-02T08:38:12.604-06:002014-09-02T08:38:12.604-06:00The furnace came on this morning.

We expect it to be cold and snowy - and just keep going!

It will stay hot right up until about the end of October sometimes longer. Thanksgiving before last we ate outside because it was 80 degrees. In the 3 years aI have lived here we got one snow a total of 5 inches. They shut EVERYTHING down (even Walmart) and called in the National Guard.
