Bookroo's summary

With Sally May and Loper away, Slim is left to watch Little Alfred. But when Slim falls ill and a fierce blizzard traps them without heat or power, it's up to Hank to find a way out. Can Hank navigate the storm and save them from being snowed in indefinitely? The stakes are high as the snow piles up and time runs out.

From the publisher

Sally May and Loper head off to visit the relatives, leaving Slim in charge of Little Alfred. Hank’s sure trouble will come knocking. First, Slim is struck down with the measles. Then a blizzard hits the ranch, trapping them in the house with no heat or electricity. Somehow, Hank’s got to find a way to get them out of this mess…before they’re snowed in for good!
