Second Winter

The official day of spring came and gave us a little glimpse of the warm weather, with some melting that happened. Our hopes were crushed with a brutal snow storm that blasted the mid west.
For two days wind and snow pummelled Lloydminster and area. The highways were impassable. Lease roads were drifted in so bad that graders were getting stuck. It got so bad that semi's and graders that were stuck were left on the spot. As the storm ended these vehicles were buried. All that you could see was the exhaust stacks and cab of the grader. A train even got stuck south of Lloydminster.

Cats were called in to clean up lease roads and back roads as tractors could not push the snow. The drifts were hard packed.
