Blizzard update

Ever since the blizzard our region has been in national news pretty much every day.  They are now calling it "white earthquake" it has affected peoples lives so much.

Snow is still deep inland although most main roads are open.  Power is back to most folks as well but other hardships remain.  Firewood is in short supply for many and food is also tough to get for some.  The other day they found a lady (3 kids) who was burning her furniture so they could keep warm.

The government is trying to get help to folks but there is only so much they can do about all the livestock that's in trouble.  They fear up to 100,000 head could die before spring.
