lovemydobe, that's a crazy photo! I live about 3 miles from that bridge! On Tuesday night, I was staying in a yurt on top of Mt. Ashwabay outside of Bayfield and I thought the wind was going to blow us off the mountain! I saw a big ore ship tucked behind Madeline Island in Chequamegon Bay...

dfattack, your comments about the birds reminded me of the stories about CBS pumping in fake bird sounds when airing the Masters on TV. Any idea if they do that???

jakester23, that sounds really cool! I hope to go to the Masters someday (final round, hopefully).

I saw a group of four riding just outside of Duluth yesterday afternoon. Looked pretty nice. Also saw some sleds gassing up in Cloquet, MN.

Definitely have seen some sled tracks in the ditches around Duluth. Close to 20-24" in spots.

17" in the Gary neighborhood of West Duluth.

10.5" so far in West Duluth. Saw two sleds out this morning.

5.5" so far in West Duluth. They're saying maybe 12-16" up the north shore, perhaps.

Regarding having precipitation soak into the ground, the latest frost depth report from Duluth (reported yesterday) is 22". Does that mean you don't reach frost until you get 22" into the ground? Frost depth is 5" in Land O' Lakes, for comparison.

NO SNOW!

Yes, it's crazy. I've been following the ice outs in Minnesota and a large majority of them are having record early ice outs.

It's been snowing all morning here in West Duluth, with maybe 3 to 3.5 inches so far. It's pretty much useless but it does make things look pretty.

The driving range at the golf course in Iron River, WI is open. That has to be a record????? Crazy.

I remember that winter. I went to Finland on a work trip and folks there were asking about the Polar Vortex in the U.S. and how cold it must've been for us!

-6F at work in Duluth this morning with a -24F windchill.
