    March came in like a lion in Northern Minnesota. There is a blizzard warning through tomorrow night. I checked a weather site and the wind is blowing at 52 mph (that isn't the gust speed). Here's a direct quote from the forecast:

    THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS WINTER WEATHER SITUATION.

    It has been a while since an ass kicker like this one rolled through the area. I forgot how awesome blizzards can be...unless you are caught out in the storm then is sucks. Anyway, the storm system is quite large and I hope everyone is weathering it alright. Here's a photo I took a few minutes ago.

    Looks like paradise!!

    The weather forecast says the real heavy stuff will arrive later tonight. I decided to take tomorrow off from work as I think it will be a good day to drink Bailey's and coffee while looking out the window.

    What a fantastic storm!! Nature is really unleashing on Duluth, MN. Plows pulled off the roads...all highways closed...airports closed...all schools closed including the University which never closes...the shopping mall even closed. I saw a couple of bright flashes of light a little bit ago and immediately thought a transformer blew somewhere nearby. Turns out the flashes were lightning! Snow, high winds (now at 60+mph), thunder, lightning...we are getting pounded up here!!! WHOO-HOO! I should have bought more beer.

    It's been a pretty nasty day here too, snow and now freezing rain and ice pellets. Hubby decided today was the day to go ice fishing!! He caught about 25 perch, but it took him almost double the time to drive home (over 4 hours), most of the roads were not plowed - he had to make his own tracks!!

    Take care out there everyone!!

    KEWL!! You are getting thunder snow!! I've only seen that 2 times!! You probably should have bought more beer. I'd offer to send a care package, but don't think Fed-Ex will be out and about!!

    Stay warm and safe! cold2coldhosed

    Hey, frozen one! Looks like a good day to go door to door!

    Bad day here in Colorado too... I-25 was an ice skating rink with some pile-ups. I was off yesterday, watching the freezing crud and snow falling, looking out the front window and laughing. It's sweet, when this weather happens on your day off & you don't have to go out in it!
