A Walk in the Snow
Officially, this morning's temperature was minus 12;
yet another record setting temperature,
dating back to 1885 when the temperature was minus 7.
Thursday morning's official temperature of minus 6
broke the record set in 1936 of minus four.
School children have had a week of vacation.
Presidents Day followed by snow and unusual cold.
What do schools do in Minnesota?!?
Where it is really cold? And snowy?
Keeping warm, Uncle Walter?
And you, Minnesota Fred?
The temperature was a balmy 16 when we walked out back.
The wind, however, was quite chilly on our faces.
The wind has knocked down yet another dead tree,
blocking one of our paths.
The snow flowers are buried.
The animals were running around last night.
On the left, deer crossing the road.
A deer got hit crossing there not so long ago.
We got the mail and fed the birds.
So much for our snowy day outside adventure!
