Instead of Bentley Turbos, Mercedes S-class sedans and the usual Porsches and Lamborghinis, so boring, there was a Lost Safari of Land Rovers, Ford Explorers, Grand Cherokees and GMC Suburbans, all tricked out with steel brush guards, roof racks, off-roading spare-wheel mounts, and black-leather car bras to ward off gravel and grasshoppers on the Paris-Dakar run.

The main roads have been cleared, but side streets and rural roads are problematic. Officials have asked people with four-wheel drive vehicles to volunteer to deliver supplies and medicine to people who are snowed in. We haven't received any reports of deaths or serious injuries. Residents are pretty much used to this kind of inconvenience and are taking it with grudging good humor. And bracing for another season...
