I love nature and just about anything to do with it, but now and then it is just a little more than what I bargained for. I'm thinking in particular of a snake story, but to do it right, I need to be more awake than I am at 0303 hours.

LOL...I love that story. I always love it when I see people helping animals even if the animals are bitey little critters or make a human look silly.

One time I was driving in snow and went off the road back in 2009. I made it out okay.

Re: Pat,
That sounds like folks adapting to Nature without losing heart. It's a great story and memory!
I was 2 months old at that time, by the way.

Mother Nature is always one step ahead of me.
There was the blizzard of '52 (I think it was in December, before the schools took their Christmas break.) It hit in the western Cascade foothills and shut down the schools in Lewis County, including Mossyrock. Not only the schools, but the highways and byways - no logging trucks moved. Salkum was on the two-lane Route 12 that wound along high bluffs and curved for several miles along the Cowlitz River. The falls below the Mayfield bridge froze into long dangerous icicles.
In Salkum we had five foot high snowdrifts. Getting to the outhouse involved a shovel and a sturdy bladder. Half the town of Salkum turned up at the foot of Ivy's Hill, carrying firewood, dragging a bobsled. Folks bundled up and came to the party since they couldn't get out of town in their pickup trucks. The bobsled was dragged uphill about half a mile, and eight or ten would climb on and ride back down the hill, around the curve. People showed up with kettles of hot chocolate. There was a bonfire.
