Deep Freeze part 2

Another round of cold but this one is predicted to be short. The wind is fierce today making it feel a whole lot more cold.

Snow Finally

It has been a long time since our last measurable snowfall. Yesterday it started out as rain, sleet and ice pellets. Fortunately it quickly changed.over to all snow otherwise it could have been a bigger mess.

There was enough snow to shovel and it is the wet, sticky kind so the trees and bushes are beautifully covered.

Deep Freeze - Day 4

This might be the last day of the super cold. It did get to 18 yesterday mid-day then fell off super fast with a fierce wind.

Forecast is for rising temps today and a little bit of snow tonight. I've been a wimp and not run so far this week. Perhaps this evening if I get off work at decent time.

Deep Freeze - Day 3

Almost 20 degrees warmer than yesterday and still in the single digits. Temperature rose overnight.

It warmed up to snow just a little tiny bit. Forecast is for falling temperatures during the day.

Deep Freeze - Day 2

Had to wait a few minutes for the bus. My nose is frozen.

Deep freeze - day 1

Forecast is that we won't get above zero today. If that turns out it will be the first negative high in four years.

US Pond Hockey Championships

The US Pond Hockey Championships on Lake Nakomis are an incredible sporting event. There are dozens of matches going on all at the same time. There are four players per team and the action is fast and intense. There is a large warming tent where we got hot chocolate right before the arctic cold front came through.

The arctic front coming in. The wind was incredible and the temperature instantly stated to plunge.
