I tried to go to Idaho for Thanksgiving - spent a night and a day in the bus terminal in Butte, MT and had to come back as the two passes into Idaho were closed. High winds, yesterday, blew the snow from the walls of Midnight Canyon up towards Nye, created 5' drifts and closed the road there. Plows will be out today - temps coming up somewhat.
