Day 6 (Part 3): Snow Hard With A Vengeance

So it’s actually Day Seven, but we’re still in Pierre as when we woke up this morning there was a whole bunch of snow we weren’t expecting. Coupled with GFT’s desire to finish her paper and actually graduate, we decided it best to stay put for now. Since then, the snow has dissipated slightly, which is an encouraging sign. Looking ahead to the flooding in the midwest, and the fact we’re basically going to be following behind Zeus and his tail of winter destruction, I’m sure the next few days may border on harrowing at times. Of course, I might just be overestimating this storm and exacerbating something that might not be such a big deal. Here’s hoping it’s the latter.

For now, I’m going to leave the lady to her work and go wonder around the city. I’ll update everyone as the situation progresses. Until then, enjoy some pretty pictures!:
