Read MoreI headed up to Price County Thursday afternoon to clear my access so I can the snowmobile trailer in, and to attend an evening Town Board meeting for the Township where our property is located. All started well enough - a pleasant 3 hr. drive, got my generator and heater going, and got to the shoveling with a warm cabin waiting for when I was done. That grey sky you see in the picture is the first hint of what is to come. The meeting was to be held just 5 miles down the road, a 55 mph. county highway, but by 6:30, the snow was coming down thick, so I geared up and headed out a bit early. Out on the road, it was near white out conditions, with little visible but a ridge on the right of the road indicating where the banks from previous snows vaguely revealed the track I needed to stay on.

Well, as it happens, a little luck was on my side.
