I'm right in Bemidji, there has to be about 2 ft of snow and it's not suppose to stop for a while yet. A LOT OF SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY CLOSED so if your up north you might want to check the news before going to bed! Bemidji is closed so is Cass Lake, Grand Rapids, etc.

I'm glad to be in the cities than looking outside at home in Bemidji! Sounds like it hit up there really hard! When is it supposed to stop snowing up there?

JUNE....I have a great dane and she's even having trouble getting through the snow, just think if you had a Chihuaha.

Morning update:

Unless we can get someone to plow our driveway we are stuck here probably till the opener. The hubby tried the snow blower, not much luck. He got our truck stuck at the end of our driveway on Sunday morning, I think it is gonna be there for a while. Thank goodness we are both retired and don't really need to go anywhere. So does anyone want to help me make a 20 foot tall snowman. \:Dcrazy.gif

Hope it is melting there as well as it is in Moorhead today...right now it is 42º, bright sunshine, water running to the street drains heavy and steady. We got about 6-8 inches of wet sloppy stuff.

Amazing how quickly it is disappearing, yesterday I was to go to Ottertail, but quickly canceled that trip and I was very bummed, but today in much better mood.

Was just out on the lake we live on and have 7 inches of water and, slush along the shore out about 75 feet, then 12 inches of heavy wet snow with only 2 inches of water on top. Got out about 20 feet with 4 wheeler before I got hung up, to much drag with the snow.

Going to keep working out farther tomorrow if everything works right.

I guess we got 20 to 30 inches North of Park Rapids According to my brother that lives up that way. Trees are bent over and snapping off. I guess when I get up to the shack I'll need to bring a chain saw. I just hope it melts fast that's alot of weight for the roofs to handle because it's so wet and heavy.

I just took a spin out on to Moose lake north of Grand Rapids with my snowmobile. man that stuff is deep. the lake wasn't to bad, but you certainly wouldn't want to stop near shore.

I went out towards the middle, made a BIG loop not slowing down and came back towards shore, then again back out towards the middle and came to a stop in my tracks. I got off and the snow was 12 - 14 inches deep with about 4 inches of real slushy snow.

then I looped and went back in towards shore and stopped in the tracks once again and got off. this time the snow was much deeper and so was the slush. maybe 18 - 20 inches total with 7-8 inches of slush.

maybe tomorrow I will go out and bore some holes to check ice conditions. my guess is it will flood something aweful.

as long as the ice is good enough I dont care. but I don't want to have to dig out a sled that is stuck in slush.

my advice to anybody who still wants to go out, go out with a buddy and make sure someone knows where you are going.

If you still need help plowing, I could come over that way and see what I can do. I have been plowing all morning, but I'm caught up.

I really appreciate the offer, a neighbor of mine is going to come over tomorrow and plow us out. He had to do his and a couple others today. \:D

Hello, I left Winnie after 13+ inches on Sunday late Morning. Any issues with anyones roof up there. Just worried about the cabin roof pressure. We got power back around 2:00PM from what I was told. Don't know if it went out again with the additional snow Sunday PM.

Not real sure how much of this will be gone as it is so wet, but the forecast is for th mid 40's till Thursday night and then a chance of more snow through Saturday. Not sure how much they are expecting, but this was originally supposed to be 8-12".

He who laughs last gets to shovel my driveway. \:D
