We had a big snowstorm here in the Upper Midwest this past weekend. First ice arrived on Friday night, then snow on Saturday and Sunday, and even today a little snow was still falling. Winona, in southeastern Minnesota, had nearly 30 inches of snow, while other parts of the state generally had from 5 to 15 inches. The weather forecasters largely got this one right. In drought-stricken northern Minnesota, the storm brought needed moisture. Wisconsin also got a great deal of snow.

I took advantage of the snow and did some urban cross country skiing on Sunday. There was enough white stuff for me to ski on streets and sidewalks until I could make it to some open areas.

Another storm is likely to hit on Wednesday and Thursday. Boy, am I glad I put winter tires on our car. More on that in a future post.
