Snow and Ice

What a doozy storm that just went through! Most of the snow fell to the north and west, but the ice storm in northwestern Minnesota was interesting. Bowbells received 7" of snow... Grand Forks only got 0.8". For the snowmobilers out there, maybe next time.

Pongo

I have a picture of Pongo, and here he is!

Where's the snow?

I haven't had to add a snow event since October 30. Hmmm.... when will our next measurable snow occur? Maybe Friday morning the 17th. Perhaps Tuesday the 21st or the following Saturday/Sunday the 25th/26th?

New Dog

I have a new dog. Pongo, a neutered male dalmatian, came to live here on October 31. What a treat! I'll post a picture at some point.

Election Day

Did you vote? I wonder how many North Dakotans exercised their civic duty today. I voted. There's no excuse for not voting, other than serious illness.

Winter this week, Summer next!

We didn't quite get 4" here in the Grand Cities, but 2" and howling winds was still enjoyable. So we get to put up with this cold for most of this week. By next Tuesday or Wednesday, we could see a return to 60s statewide, possibly some 70s west. A nice taste of "Indian Summer" for everyone who wants to pull out the grill a few more times.
