The blizzard in the middle of December was zero visibility!
The aftermath of that blizzard left big drifts!
And the wind created God's artistry!
Then the second blizzard hit on Dec. 28th and lt was bright and sunny on the 29th!
Sunrise on the 29th, a very cold day!
And a beautiful, bright sun dog soon appeared!
The high winds kept a lot of the snow off the roofs!
