An Old-fashioned Minnesota Snow Storm

We had a big snow storm yesterday. Over a foot and a half of snow fell over 24 hours. Combine that with wind that caused the snow to drift and drift and drift and...you get the idea. Visibility was less than one-tenth of a mile, best we could tell. We are stranded at my dad's house for the time being, my van is stranded at my sister's house. She brought us here in her 4-wheel drive vehicle, but even it couldn't get us back there last night. We tried, the roads were treacherous at best, but her driveway was so full of snow there was not a chance we could turn into it. So back to my dad's we went. We are fine, warm, and in good company, though, so I can't complain.
