Through the storm

On Saturday night, a winter storm swept over the Door peninsula. We woke to inches of snow that even bi-hourly shoveling and blowing could not constrain. By Sunday afternoon, the snow was more than the snowblower could handle and I was reduced to shoveling a path out the door and a spot for Gus to use as his winter latrine. He was not amused with the 35+ mph winds and driving snow. 

Monday the blizzard continued and despite putting in trails the snow was hip-deep in the yard. Tuesday we were due to drive to Chicago for the Matt Berninger concert at Park West, but we had 3-4 feet drifts across our drive and our cars were snowed in. Finally on Wednesday afternoon, 3/18/2026, we were plowed and set free!
