That's the way it alwaysis in a storm," said Jake Smith,bottle shop manager at Crown Col-

At 8 p.m. Saturday,officials closed the base to outgo-ing traffic because of hazardous

driving conditions.Early in the evening there werefew cars on Grand Forks streets,and business at Frenchy's, 1302Stanford Road, was slow."It might pick up later on," saidowner H.J. Lacrosse. "Sometimespeople come out . . . because theywant a challenge."

The storm boosted business s tlocal motels, however, a s out-of-town visitors and truckers regis-tered for rooms to avoid driving inthe storm.The Westward Ho Motel wasnearly full, "and we might get afew more later when the barsclose," said c lerk Janell Schnack-enberg. "Then they'll realize,'Hey, we can't drive anywhere in

all this snow."'At three other motels, unexpect-ed guests began checking in earlyin the afternoon, and other guestsarranged to stay an extra night be-cause of the storm.While people were finding secu-rity from cold and wind, some an-imals in Grand Forks may havehad a rough go of it Saturday night.At 6:30 p.m., Grand Forks policeannounced they would answer nomore calls about stray or lost an-imals, in order to respond morepromptly to traffic accident cdlswhich were coming in at a rate ofab ut five an hour.While most people apparentlydidn't want to risk driving Satur-
