This past week we’ve experienced all ranges of Minnesota Winters… Monday morning our temperatures plummeted down to –14 degrees plus 40-60mph winds with wind-chill levels at –32. Our neighborhood streets had water pipes busting open, which meant that our poor driveway was covered in ice – almost all the way up to the garage! It stayed pretty bitterly cold all week and now is warming up a bit. However with the temperature coming just above 32 – It rained this {Read More}

Then – in January the sub-zero temperatures kick into high-gear – and most of Minnesota stays indoors until April {Read More}
So last week we had quite the warm-up, which was really great for moving purposes. We were able to move without freezing our hands and ears off! But then this weekend – it got COLD again. Now today – We’ve got TONS of snow. I have shoveled twice today. And then Joe did a big shoveling after he got home. I shoveled about 2” the first time, then 3-4” the second time, and Joe just shoveled 5-6”. We’re still predicted {Read More}
