We haven't left our place since we came home from church Christmas Eve.  We got snow on the 29th.  Records in NM.  We're used to snow from Colorado, but NM is not equipped for the amount we received.  We are the only ones on a non county road, so it is up to us to get out.  Michael's boss has been working on it from his end in Santa Fe, but it seems like every option keeps falling through, so Michael has been trying to just drive and push snow with a truck with chains and a 2wd backhoe.  It's pretty slow.  They have a conference next week that we are supposed to be at, but we're not sure if we'll get out of here or not for it.  The main problem is taking care of the animals.  At the end of the month is Elko, and we really can't see missing that, so somehow, we'll have to find someone to housesit or something.  It will be interesting to see what the next few weeks bring.
