Well we just had a pretty spectacular winter storm up here with gale force winds off the big Lake just 10 mph shy of hurricane strength. The 2 feet of snow wasn't particularly spectacular but the drifting, blowing, thunder and lightning was breathtaking at times. The whole city was pretty much shut down for a day and a half, and it sure is nice to slow down for a bit. Cross country skiing through the fluff is great, and in this stuff it is especially exhilirating to ski the rivers downstream cascading down frozen waterfalls all blanketed in snow as you descend 700 feet to Lake Superior. The flying Elvis's descending from 10000 feet couldn't have a better view!
