...to start down the road to Williston (70 mi). It is -55ºF with the wind chill. Pat's flight was canceled! We have another. It leaves an hour later, 0704. We must leave now as the roads are bad and we need a cushion a time to make the trip.
I'm back at 0915. We had ground blizzard conditions and icy road for much of the way down and back. For those of you who do not know "ground blizzard" it is when snow of face powder like consistency is blowing across the land. This may be as little as 3-5 inches high to many yards high. When it is low it can block out all vision of the road. When it is eye level and higher it is not unlike very dense fog blocking all view. This is really nasty stuff.
Pat's second option for a flight was canceled as we waited! Now she is booked on a flight at 1330 hours. She will have 40 minutes to get to her connecting flight in Denver. Of course that flight is at the other concourse and will have to take the bus to get to it. Little ole ladies do not run very fast or long. I hope she is up to it. She will arrive in Phoenix at 1730 hours and will be picked up and transported to Prescott if all goes well.
