Dear Dad + Mom: We've had our first blizzard here, snowed about five inches and blew, in fact it is still snowing. There are drifts two or two and a half feet high. There are plows cleaning off, the ramps and runways but it is a slow process. It's warm, water is dripping off the eaves but now, this evening, its getting colder and beginning to snow harder. Last night we were moving planes around in the storm and it was really a job. Our towing equipment would spin and slip and we couldn't steer the plane etc. Got it done tho and no accidents. Have my ship in the hangar now pulling a 50 hour inspection, glad it's inside, worked last night in the storm but made little progress.
