I saw a bunch of the smaller lakes around Centerville were skimmed completely over yesterday. No sign of ice on the bigger lakes though. :P

All it is going to take is one good arctic blast and we will on the ice in no time.

Happy Thanksgiving! We have a good dusting of snow on the ground in Milaca, and I better get that carb fixed on my Jiffy!

yup, after a brief period above freezing tomorrow, I show 15 days without going over 32.  Keep the wind and the snow away, we will have drivable ice by Christmas.  Of course my drivable is over foot, usually way over a foot.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: "Wow, what a ride!"

Same thing just north of the Metro.  The radio said -2 in St Cloud, but it also said 2-5" of nice ice insulating snow across the northern part of the state.

Only lakes along my path to work this morning that were open had birds in 'em! (South and West part of the cities)
