Winter Finally Comes again




Our second winter storm of the season hit last Thursday and Friday (we got about 12 inches) and the roads are not all that good still today. The yard stick shows how much total on the ground we have now. The icicle picture we figure was due to the wind. It was cold and windy yesterday but Peter and I went snowmobiling in Rosemount. The old snowmobile broke about a mile into the ride but through my great engineering genius, we jerry-rigged up a fix and continued on. It's a good thing because he and Diane tried to go today and the new snowmobile won't start. We did some troubleshooting over the phone but it's still a no go when we last heard from him. It's been an expensive snowmobile weekend all in all considering I broke the trailer wheel jack before I even started. I'm going to wait until it's warm to work on the sleds. It looks like now I have to fix both of them. Tonight we'll have Sunday family dinner. Holly might come because she didn't get to go home to a family baby shower this weekend because a lot of Iowa is without power and 35 is shut down for part of the way. Paul Douglas says this much snow should last about 2 weeks. We'll see. FYI - all Minnesota Comp USA stores are closing. We were there yesterday and the deals aren't all that great yet but maybe that will change.
