Home... Safe and Sound!

At about 10:00am this morning the snow began to clear a bit so I packed Spencer and up from our overnight stay at the hotel. We packed up the Jeep and off we adventured towards Calgary. We arrived at the airport in Calgary about 12:30pm after witnessing 60... yes 60 vehicles (I counted!) in the ditch between Claresholm and Calgary. Mostly cars, the odd pick up truck and a handful of jack-knifed transports. We even saw a transport that had tipped on its side in the ditch at the base of bridge.

We picked up Christie and Mark at the the airport and then went to eat lunch. At about 2:00pm we left Calgary. The winds were high and they whipped up the snow all around us. We had maybe one spot of white out just before getting to Fort MacLeod. The snow on Highway 3 going into the Pass was a little more caked to the road then on Highway 2 down from Calgary so we took our time. We finally arrived home at 5:30pm in BC. Safe and sound.

Stranded!

Spencer and I have made it as far as Claresholm, AB. It is snowing SO hard right now and there are SO many accidents between here and Calgary that they have closed the road. The visibility was nasty so I pulled off the road in Claresholm at the Tim Hortons to figure out our next step. I figured there was no point getting stranded in the middle of no where. After much contemplation and talking to lots of fellow travelers in the Timmies, we decided that this would be where we would stay. We have rented a room at the local Motel 6 to wait out the storm. I sure hope that things clear up. There is some talk of them canceling numerous flights to Calgary as it is. Should be interesting to see when the storm subsides and when we can go on to Calgary. Please pray that everything settles down tonight, the roads get cleared and we can make it safely to Calgary and home again.

Calgary... here we come!

Spencer and I off to Calgary this morning to stay there. Christie and Mark are flying in early tomorrow morning and it's just so much easier to stay there the night instead of having to drive in the middle of the night.

Off we go. We leave within the hour!

Happy Birthday Dad!
