Snowdrift



Brad's brother, Rod, lives in northwest Mandan, where the winds blow in from across the open prairie. With all the snow this season, the street and yards have been turned into one giant snowdrift.

The same thing happened in the blizzard of 1997. Back then, the local news did a story on him using a front-loader to clear his driveway. The story got picked up by other news outlets and made it all the way to Paris, France, where my uncle and aunt were living and saw it on TV.

I wish we could make headlines for something besides our outrageous weather.
