Snow Coming

This week has been so much warmer, a bit warmer each day. Snow is finally in our forecast. The white stuff is predicted to start after midnight tomorrow (Friday). It is to be snowy on Saturday and Sunday, and the weatherman is predicting 6 – 8 inches for us. It has been strange to see no snow on the ground here in January and February. The snow will brighten things up and make things look nice. We really need snow, not just for our economy here in the Northland, but also for the crops and gardens in the summer. Without the moisture we get in the winter, it will make for a dry summer. Our water level on Lake Superior is down by a foot and a half. We need the moisture. Maybe the water company employees will get a break from fixing broken water pipes and water mains. With the frost going so deep, there have been so many problems with that. No snow for insulation of the pipes.

Did I tell you that the John Beargrease Dog sled race was cancelled, due to no snow, and not even enough up north, (very unusual).

Anyhow, I think after a practically snow-less winter, most everyone in Duluth will be welcoming the snow. Personally, I’m glad its coming on a weekend, no worries about having to travel in it, we can stay home if it gets bad. Bob is going to the grocery store tomorrow. I warned him that he and hundred more will be in the store tomorrow (when snow is forecast around here, that’s what happens, people “stock up” in case of a blizzard).

In fact, it can snow for the next three weeks, and I won’t care – I will be home recuperating. So, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
