Consequences
So we went to the Urban Mushing class on Sunday. The location and the people were very nice. Julie and her team were very knowledgeable.

Snowmageddon
When the weather service said go home and stay there for this storm that was good advice. At the start of the storm I tried to shovel snow but it came down too fast. The wind was terrible and was causing me to get cold. We had big drifts by bed time. Our furnace stopped […]
