The winter had been an exceptionally harsh one. The cold had settle in early, freezing the ground before even the first snowflake fell. Then the frost had kicked in early barely giving farmers enough time to bring in crops and the herds in from the fields. When the snow hit, it hit hard, coating everything in white in a matter of days in a blizzard that hardly seemed to quit. The kids loved it, school was cancelled in light of the blizzard but it made everything else take quite as long, digging out trapped vehicles from snow drifts, and shoveling out walks.

The cold front had not been in the original schedule but it was too late to go back now, too much had fallen so the most Jack could do was enter into town and allow some of it to thaw so people could go about their daily lives.
