We received a phone call at 8:10 a.m. this morning saying a vehicle was on its way to us. It will be a mini van. We decided to not count our chickens before they hatch; but hope to leave by noon. Steve just got through talking to a trucker who said highway 50 is open in Kansas but not in Colorado. There goes our route home. The trucker suggested we take another highway, I think 287, north to I-70 and then we will be on interstate the whole rest of the way instead of back roads that may or may not be cleared. He said the first 23 miles might be hard but that it would be dry after that. YEAH!!!!
Our waitress this morning at breakfast said the storm had brought 30 inches of snow here in Lamar. Some of the drifts are up to 10 feet high! They are expecting another storm in this weekend. They have told us that they hardly ever get snow in this part of Colorado. Hum, aren't we the blessed ones that get to experience this anomaly?? There was a group of men that have been working to clear the roads at breakfast this morning. They sure had some stories to tell. They were still saying how bad the roads are. They had seen drifts up to 15 feet high in some places.
Please continue to pray for our safety as we drive home. Hopefully our next entry will be from good old OKC, OK.
Love to all
Karen and Steve
