Stillwater got blasted with the worst winter storm in recent history. This is a picture looking out my dorm room to the snow drifting high outside and on my window sill. Thank goodness for space heaters from WalMart to keep me warm in my room along with many quilts and fleece pants! School was closed for a week. Temperatures dropped to below -30C. And we left to head up north to Montana in the middle of all of it ...A small herd of us decided it was best to drive to Montana for the 2011 Society for Range Management international meeting. It was a 21 hour drive north and a 21 hour drive back south ... with minimal stops along the way. I was looking forward to the trip so that I could see Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana but things didn't end out as hoped for. We travelled through the night, leaving Stillwater at midnight and arriving in Billings, Montana at 9pm the following evening. We had 3 white outs, major winds and storms, icey road conditions and a whole lot of car sickness from the Canadian in the back of the bus. It was good to get to finally arrive in Billings!
