It is still that way in Wyoming during parts of the winter. In a blizzard, no one is going anywhere, esp. those on ranches.

True, though it's a bit easier to handle when the weather radar tells you to go inside, your house is a comfy 72 deg, and you brew up some coffee and pop in a DVD to weather the storm. Better than walking 50 ft to an outhouse to take a leak, following a rope both ways because you can't see. Modern life is a-ok by me.
