Avoiding the snow??

It is Friday morning in Interior S.D., and we will head out of here this morning and go about 100 miles west to Sturgis. We will hang out there until this early snow crap goes away. Right now it looks like we probably will not move again until Monday. When we do get going again, we probably will just stay one night at each stop. That way we should avoid any more snow, and still stay on track for getting home on Thursday. But, if we can't get home until Friday or Saturday, that's the way it goes. We will be watching the weather continually again, like in late August and early September when we were on hurricane watch.
When we started out on this journey, we didn't think we would be worrying about snow. Cold weather was not part of the agenda! The furnace works well, and there is no problem staying toasty warm, but now I need to monitor the propane closely.
At least staying in Sturgis will have us close to major cities (such as they are in SD) for groceries, movie rentals, TV reception, etc. Where we are now it is 26 miles (there it is again) to the nearest grocery store, which isn't very big and closes at 7:00 p.m.
Maybe I will even get to see the Dodgers/Phillies game #2. Hang in there Ron!!
We're a little late for the rally, but Sturgis here we come.
Hope it's warm and dry wherever you are................Ernie
