Latest snow dump

[Gary Crichton]

Hey lambjm how is the roof doing. Our cabin is on Winnie. Have you heard any reports of roof issues.

[Iambjm]

Not as of yet, mine is still holding. We are getting some melting today but this is gonna take a while. The place next to mine has a small cabin and his is holding up good too.

[jigglestick]

I agree, the cabins seem to be doing fine.

there is less weight on them every day. it's not melting fast, but it's melting.

the driveways that have been cleared are looking good.

this stuff ain't no treat to plow either. today I went out in tandem with a guy and it worked great. when he got stuck I pulled him out and when I got stuck he pulled me out.

it's so darned slippery, some times I can't even park on any kind of incline.

I know the people have sure been happy to see us!

[Gary Crichton]

Good to hear. If Rick and Kims cabins are doing OK, ours should be too. Did Rick spend the whole time at the sports show, and if so did he come back during the storm. Who plowed them out.

Thanks for the update

G.C.

This is getting downright depressing. Just think when we sold our house in the cities we could have moved south, but I said I love fishing too much and we moved north. What was I thinking!!!!

Well this time my little baby is going to be in the garage. Here she is on a better day. When I started searching on line for it my hubby said "NO MORE RED TRUCKS OR CARS I am sick of that color" So look what I chose. Orange!! This is my pumpkinmobile:

That will be good during deer hunting season....nobody should mistake it for a deer.

[boatfixer]

I think you made the right move Barb. By the way shoot me an e-mail.

[wishing for walleyes]

Looking at the weather it looks like round 2 is coming at you guys.

[icecold]

You guys are so lucky to live up north in the snow country I love winter and im stuck in southern minnesota, send some snow down our way

[hawkeye43]

Be careful what you wish for, I don't think they want 30"+ up north.

[JigginIsLife]

I love the winter just as much as the next guy, but right now snow is the last thing we want... the ice is unstable where I dont want to venture out, and there are no hunting seasons open to start anything ( i guess crow is) but its time to just start summer, get to opener and do some soft water fishing... nothing like sitting back in a boat drinking a few soda pops and watching the sunset while the loons are howling in the back....sigh...

[tisosy11]

Lets hear it! Why can't it just rain and clear the soft ice!

[jwhjr]

It just needs to hold out for a few more days so I can get out one last time this weekend up north... After that bring on the open water.

[jigglestick]

north of grand rapids/deer river --

the winds have now picked up to 20-25 mph and the snow is just starting to skiff across the road.

5:55 pm thursday

[shizzy]

im even hearing thunder

[MuleShack]

I would think this snow is good for the areas that didn't get a lot of moisture last season, as it melts slowly it will put more into the ground. Instead of raining and running off right away?

Have to look at everything with some sort of positive right?

[jigglestick]

7:03 a.m. we now have about 6 inches and the wind is still howling...more to come

[jwhjr]

Anyone have a report from the Emily/Outing area? There's still been mainly rain where I am in the metro.

[IFallsRon]

I had 6-8 inches of heavy, wet snow in St. Cloud Friday morning. I ran the blower out to clear where the plow clogged up the front driveway. Of course, the auger quit working.

[stick]

I came up to GR area last night to shovel off the cabin roof to clear the way for more snow, and I was pleased at the melting already and chose not to shovel. All of the prior snow was down to about 8" of snow. Just thought I'd mention this for those concerned. I will admit I've got some heat loss in the cabin, though.

Quite a snowy morning, too.

[BKB]

We are 10 miles south of Brainerd and I would say 12-14 so far and still snowing.

[jigglestick]

9:28 a.m. here and I think 8 inches would be pushing it, but it's still snowing...and still to much!

[Nick Kuhn]

I few places in my yard had a dusting of snow @ 9AM. Otherwise it's been raining... a lot. (Southeast metro BTW).
