Weather Update

.


There was a comment recently that went like this: "Hows the deep freeze there? Seems we have all forgotten what Wisconsin weather is like...want to shut down when it reaches zero. Sheesh..." This is how the deep freeze is at the Ottertail. This was at daybreak on last Wednesday, and Thursday was almost the same. I think we had about four days where it never made it above zero during the day.



All the north windows in the living room had this border of hard frost. Just like Tim remembered.....
Thursday and Friday had all the schools closed in the area around here. Even Prentice!!!! I know that's hard to believe. Come to think of it I'm not sure they were closed on Thursday. Wood burns up really quickly in this type of weather.....

This post was complete and then I saw the photo below with a news story.....


Arctic front freezes US, Canada in record cold snap. Hmmmm...







This is just for cheeriness and a hope for warmer weather...... this is from some friends when they were on Lake of the Woods in Canada.....

Your comments remind me of this area and the newsmen. They were on the air interrupting reg. programming talking about the "deep freeze". I did not think it was so bad to have minus 4, etc. It is warmer here today and we have had some more light snow. Lucy

This "warm" weather (aka - above zero but still below freezing) has been a nice change of pace around here! But the colder days weren't too bad - after the second day you learned to adjust and then it seemed normal!

Gene! How are you doing? Glad to see you've been doing a little flying in the flightstar! how's it running? Winter flying can be some of the smoooooothest of the year.
