April 30th blizzard

Yesterday was a wonderful spring day. Folks were in short shirt sleeves enjoying the warmth of spring. Some were even raking and mowing lawns.
Today is a dead winter day with blowing snow and subfreezing temperatures. Snow depths are from one to two feet depending where you are.  Drifts are 3' to 5' or more.  No let up until later tonight although the snow has let up some. The wind out of North is not letting up. We also have no power or running water & NO INTERNET. It seems the muni water tower is filled with an electric pump with out backup power!  The town is crippled, No water and No electricity.  We are lucky, we can move into the trailer for warmth and cooking meals if we need to.  So far all is survivable.
Pat and I are doing well, we have a well insulated home and a gas cooktop. We will take the food from the refrigerator and put it in the garage if we need to. The garage is about 38 degrees.
This is about 24 hours worth of snow in the pictures!
It is cold!
