Tell Us Your Favorite Blizzard Story
April 8, 2013 Have you survived a Spring blizzard?
Tell us your favorite story of making it through a big storm. Who knows, maybe part of your story will be a good lesson for someone out there to help them survive in a blizzard.
As I write this, Cheyenne has received about 2 inches of snow from this Arctic blast but the winds are howling and creating drifts more than a foot high in places already.
When I left the radio station Monday night, a drift in the parking lot must have been ten inches deep and the heavy wet snowflakes hurt as they blew sideways into your face. Visibilities on the roads home were diminished to whiteout conditions when I passed Holliday Park on 19th Street.
Over the years, I've lived through several blizzards in Wyoming and have Grateful Memories of many of them. Thought I'd share one, if you have one, share yours too.
