A Bad Blizzard

 

The only time Natalia can remember about being in a place where she experienced really bad weather was when she was very young. She remembers a time when she and her parents were traveling by dog team to their winter camp and they were back behind Marshall where there were many hills. She was in the sled and she had a tarp over her. She was trying to see what the weather was like and so she tried making a hole through the tarp. When she finally got a hole made through the tarp she saw it was really blizzarding outside. It was almost a total white out. While they were traveling it had gotten really stormy, so after trying to go a little further they finally stopped. They were lucky to find a cabin where they stayed for the night. The next day the weather was better so they continued traveling to their winter camp.
