from the article:
One of Steve's sons lives 1/2 mile from the dairy, after doing everything he could do, he headed home to rest at 1:30am. However his truck was snowed in and the roads were impassible so he called home and had his wife pull their Jeep around the house and flash the lights so he could walk the 1/2 mile in the blizzard without getting lost. Steve's family's cows went without feed for 36 hours because the snow had made it impossible to mix and deliver the feed to them.
Yep, I'm sure that's what this man was planning as he left his vehicle to walk through a blizzard.
we had older people stuck in their houses until the Wednesday after the blizzard, there was just no way to get out with drifts 7-8ft high, we couldn’t get to a tractor, it was just a nightmare ....we had more snow in the 2013 blizzard, but that was a one day event and then the sun came out and it melted quickly....in this one the wind was blowing in the 50s for 3 days straight then it didn’t warm up when the wind stopped, we just aren’t equipped to deal with that in this part of TX ...
