Minnesota Monday: The MegaBlizzard!
This weekend was the biggest blizzard Minnesota has seen since 1991. As most people have heard, the Metrodome's roof even collapsed. On Saturday, I made my way down to the local grocery store in the middle of it, and people seemed unfazed. In fact, there was a band playing at the end of the produce aisle [you can click on any photo to enlarge it]:
Say what you want about Edina; the city has some awesome snow-moving equipment. For example, this thing just gets the snow off of sidewalks:
And this!:
Meanwhile, my outdoor lighting (which is on long stakes) now lights the snow from beneath:
But, there are always cozy places to tuck in to-- I love the light coming out of this shop:

Sadly, Lane, the last time a felony was committed in Minnesota was in 1947, when a drunk Wisconsinite wandered across the state line.

Would you mind keeping the cold air up there in Minnesota where it belongs with the snow.
I need to find a blog with pictures of beaches and palm trees.

Meanwhile, it Texas it was colder today - yesterday was 74, but today only got up to 63. It may come a light freeze tonight. My roses are blooming, the herbs are in fine shape, but the begonias have been a bit frost nipped - not enough to keep them from blossoming.
Ah, the joys of winter! We may even have a fire this evening if it gets cold enough. Haven't had to run the AC in several days.
Did my time in snow country - had sense enough to leave as soon as I could escape.

Yep, it got down to 34 last night - today is sunny and will be about 60. Frost nipped my thyme a bit - need to put the pot against the house...

I think they must have snow on the ground 265 days of the year.
Perhaps the Prof. needs to visit the space pod and visit with Pickles.

I think I'd be living in Breadsmith. It looks wonderful. It looks like the kind of place that has free wireless, too.

Anybody seen The Sweet Hereafter? Don't know why I think it must have been set in Minnesota. I'm pretty sure there must be some criminal undercurrent lurking out there in winter wonderland. Watch out Prof!
