But then the winter that would not go away struck again, blasting much of the nation last week with freezing temperatures, blustery winds and snowstorms that would have seemed excessive for February...

Begin will stay in Birch house and Sadat in Dogwood, both located about 50 yds. from Aspen Lodge.
