The anticipated blizzard has been as promised so far and will still continue through tomorrow. The stout NE winds will taper off around noon today and at some point tomorrow will be stout SW winds. It may blow a lot of this away but the temps will not get much above freezing till Thursday so there won't be biking for a while. I am glad I stocked up on perishable food stuff since the roads will be funky for the grocery trucks for a while. Tonight will be pink trout, green beans and some linguine.
I found a book at the library on sheepherder wagons and the people who made them and lived in them. A really large proportion were made in central Wyoming and used here for the 1 1/2 million sheep that were once raised here. Nowadays the lamb in the supermarket comes from New Zealand although some woolies can still be seen here. One sheepherder lady discussed living in one with -54F nights, having to keep her head below the blankets so her face would not get frostbitten. Makes this weather seem pretty tame in comparison. I will take mine to the mountains nearby in the summer and do a little glamping in honor of those hardass sheepherders.
Be safe and warm....
