Spring In Minnesota

I mentioned in a post last week while I was in Orlando that it was snowing back home! Well, guess what – I had that pleasure this morning driving into work.

Snapped a quick cameraphone pic before going inside the office.

Winter in Minnesota – Snowday!

Mar 1, 2007 | blog

A quick ride for the kids Well, finally in March we get one of our substantial snow storms! One storm last week dumped anywhere from 8″ on the low side to a whopping 30″ in one town in the southwest part of the state! We got around 10″ here at home.

Today and tomorrow, we’re supposed to get another potential 12″, so I had planned to work from home today. Not a bad deal – I can usually get more done here than in the office because of not being interrupted all the time.

So yes, we’re finally getting the snow we should have started the winter with back in November. Oh well, I’ll still not get a chance to get the sled out, but its just nice to see it look like winter around here rather than a brown, patchy white mess.

Great coffee shop in Ely

We stopped at a great (and I really mean it) coffee shop in Ely. They had simple sandwiches and soups as well as dessert stuff. The place is called the “Front Porch Cafe”, and also had Internet connectivity, though I didn’t use it.

Amy had one of the best Mochas in a very long time. I had just a regular coffee and some chili, also very good. This place is on my recommended list for places to stop when passing through.

A great thank you to the staff there, it was a warm welcoming place.

(I wrote this two days ago while in the car – didn’t have mobile service at the time. Also, when we got to Crosslake, I was very successful in relaxing, so I never connected up.)
