My mom works in Duluth but she lives about 30 or so miles into Wisconsin off of Hwy 13... She said Hwy 2 is (was?) completely closed. They can't get out even if they wanted to. My cousin was going to be driving up there from the Cities this weekend- do you know how I-35 is between there and Duluth?

Wow. I killed the weather thread. That's gotta be an accomplishment. There's always something to say about weather somewhere.

Ole pictures!!! We all LOVE Ole pictures. It worked, Kaili, brought me in, LOL. I always love Ole in the snow pictures. Who is the new dog? S/he is a natural comedian. Love the action shot of you shoveling snow with the hair billowing out. Wow, your hair got so long.

It's a winter wonderland for certain, Kaili. I'm wondering why Ole wasn't so happy. Having just revisited the snowstorm scene myself Friday, I am hoping that the worst is over. Do you get a lot of spring snowstorms?

Yay! to Ole the snowdog, and Yay! to the grey fluffdog, too. I'm glad we haven't gotten that much snow yet, but you all look like you're having fun

I’m just guessing he wasn’t so happy. He doesn’t looked thrilled in that picture- I’m thinking he didn’t want to get his butt off his warm dog bed and go outside. He’s a great snow dog, but when it’s that deep it’s so hard for them to walk and he’s getting old. You can’t tell cause of his color, but I’m sure he’s getting grey- he’s about 10 years old. They’re usually going on the snowshoe trails so it’s easier for them to move. They sink down in powdery fresh snow. Tillie is the new girl- she’s a labradoodle whose hair didn’t quite turn out. A bit over a year old. My mom got her in July and she was 7 months then. Back to the weather- March snow is certainly not unusual, but this was the most up there in years- my mom said it’s been about 10 years since they had that much all at once. My cousin was driving up there from Sheboygan and ended up having to sleep in his truck because the highways were closed. Not even just the county ones- even the state highway.

Hahaha Kaili...when I saw "Ole pictures", I came running into this thread! Now that's a LOT of snow! Tillie is the new girl in town, huh? I loved how you described her "she's a labradoodle whose hair didn't quite turn out". She's still an adorable dog and it appears she and Ole are friends. Just last week, a prospective volunteer brought her male labradoodle in for the pet visitation program try outs. He definitely had the hair thing going on, so I know what you're talking about. If I come across him again, I'll be sure to take a picture. Stay warm!!

LOL- the hair not turning out is the number one reason my mom has her...They hadn't been able to sell her for full price and said she'd just be a breeder since she wasn't (what they consider) perfect. She's a charity case- haha. She knows it though- she's soooo sweet. Hey, here's a few more Lake Superior pictures....
Brrrrr! These are from the supercold week in February. We have 18 for a high today. Could be worse. It's sunny and feels good. I'm soooo looking forward to Daylight Savings in just about ONE WEEK!!!!! Yeah!!!!

It's freakin' snowing again. I hate what I see on the driving map. I hate that I have to drive to work. I hate that my highway is "Ice Covered and Hazardous"

Awesome pictures, Kaili! Speaking of OMG weather....the windchill here right now is -26, with overnight windchills expected to get down to -40. The actual temperature right now is just a little below zero. Needless to say, the winds are whipping around insanely.

They're amazing, aren't they? As sick I am of the weather, it is kinda cool to look at. From inside anyway. It's still snowing. Took me about 45 minutes (twice as long as normal) to get home tonight. The highway is kinda icy but not horrible- not like Friday night. The lanes are all narrowed though and I get nervous with the semis going by cause they just don't slow down and they're so close when the lanes are like this. The radio was saying that there are cars spinning out and flipped all over the highway. I didn't see any, but I got off the highway a few exits before my exit and drove through town. I figure if I'm on a road that's 25 mph normally, no one can get mad at me when I go slow. I watched a truck fishtail it's way down the street and almost hit 3 other cars at different times. I'm so ready for spring.

Hello. Jealous here. Love the green. I've been kicking the snow out from around my tires. At least it's supposed to be warming up a bit every day. By Tuesday....mid-40s. I can't wait.

We almost got a whole inch of snow today. Add that to the maybe 10 inches all winter and you still can't make a snowman. LOL

It's very weird weather isn't it this year? We've had a couple weeks of really hot weather for this time of y ear and too few cool days. Today's high is supposed to be 74...tomorrow's 54. I'm also getting high wind weather alerts that are supposed to come later today, but right now there's not even a hint of a breeze outside.

Man it is an absolutely GORGEOUS day here. 70 degrees, wind is out of the southwest between 15-20 mph, buds are popping everywhere, the lake is really rolling with waves, the mallards are in glorious color and very proud of themselves. Fishermen are out, pontooners are out, pussycats are in the window soaking it up, Colossus is down cleaning the shoreline with a rake. And I'm inside doing spring cleaning LOL. It's gotta be done! At least the house is getting a good airing-out.
