Good morning Minnesota



Woke up to this picture this morning, oh we new it was coming, but all the same it's quite the picture of uggghhhhh! Twice this weekend I awakened to snow, in two different places no less.
Linette and I went to visit Beckie at college in Moorhead, we awakened Saturday morning to 6 inches of snow, it was completely weird, by 10 am the snow had stopped by noon the roads were clear and by 4 pm you wouldn't have known it had snowed. Yesterday morning we began to receive calls from home saying you might want to head out it's suppose to get bad here, we left around 1:30 and had great driving until Fairfax where it started to rain/snow but still easy to drive thru...Just after SleepyEye we hit more slushy snow but driving was still good. When we came into town we could see why they were so concerned it was awful. It continued to snow all night, with winds picking up, and thus the picture this morning. I have no daycare kids, the roads are pretty impassable. So another day off, woohoo...No school, no work, how great is that?
Kevin came home from work by 7 this morning and barely made it to the driveway, had to snowblow just to get the van back into the garage. You just have to love Minnesota winters.
Had a great time with Beckie, it was fun to visit her and just hang out, we shopped and ate, and shopped and ate :) Fun to meet some of her friends and see where she spends all her days. She will be home in 7 weeks wow, time goes fast. Will post pictures later, I forgot my camera, and so did Linette, she said "you always have yours so I thought it would be overkill" I of course completely forgot in the flurry to get out the door on Friday..So will have to develop the film and then post pics. Since we are snowed in I'm going to pop in a movie and chill for the rest of the day.
