White New Year

Duluth didn’t have a White Christmas, but it will for sure have a “White New Year”. It snowed yesterday. The weather service reports that at 6 pm last evening, we had 1.7 inches of snow on the ground. However, here in our Woodland neighborhood we have closer to 3". It was a wet, heavy snow, so the snow has lingered on the trees and landscape. It sure was a beautiful sight driving home from work last evening. Now today, because the temperature is so warm, we have fog. If it weren’t for the snow on the trees, it would look like a very dreary day. Tonight we are to get some freezing rain, switching over to snow tomorrow. It’s reported that we could have a “snowy Sunday”.
