RE: Solving off-grid problems; snow blindness

in #ungrip7 years ago

We got well over a foot a few weeks ago and we struggled to dig ourselves out. It took us two days to open up the yard so that we can move around and get chores done! Please remind me again where you are located? My memory is failing me and I don't recall where you are from. Please forgive me.

Michigan- about 100 miles north of the "D". I'm what locals would call a "thumb girl"

Lifelong resident and when I lived a little further north we had horrendous lake effect snow. One time we had 6 inches of snow then the winds picked up dumped another foot of snow. I lived on a gravel road with no outlet road (long forgotten by the county road commission people and plows) and we lived at the top of a hill... well the snow drifts were literally six feet deep and we were snowed in for three days. Even the big orange county truck with its plow got stuck. They had to call a wrecker in to haul it out.

Only way we could get out was by snowmobile. Yeah... don't miss those days too much!

Michigan? Wow. We were in Windsor in August for a wedding. A few months too late to meet up!
