The snow is starting to pick up a lot, but the snowplow ...ompany left a little while ago on the way back down the mountain. So the road was clear at that point. But the way it's snowing, that cleared road isn't going to last very long." Okay, we're rolling and we're famished. When's supper?" We'll be ready to put it on the table when you drive up."
