When there are bad snow storms you know what you have to do to get your walk or driveway cleared. You may see businesses with large parking lots and they have to make giant snow piles to try to clear the glut of the pretty white stuff. Imagine if you will having to not just […]
Over the years there has always been a rivalry between those that ski in the snow and those that board in it. When snowboarding arrived it was seen by purists as a bunch of rebels on the slopes akin to skateboarders on city streets. In fact, that isn’t too far from the truth with snowboard […]
The weather is…terrible. That’s not the real problem though. The problem is we take too much time complaining about it. In the tri-states we run the gamut of freezing cold with a windchill to hot as heck with humidity when it comes to our seasons. Somewhere in the middle is perfect Fall and Spring days […]
Where we live is no stranger to bad weather especially in the winter. Every year we usually have one or two bad storms or maybe a string of sub-zero days that seem unrelenting. Every so often we get a big storm that is reminiscent of days long gone when our parents walked uphill both ways […]
It’s always cool when you see a kid challenge themselves. Isaac Ortman from Duluth decided his challenge was to sleep outside for as long as he can even in the winter. He has been sleeping in a “quinzee” which is basically a snow fort. He piles up snow and hollows it out until it is […]

Last year the Minnesota Department of Transportation held a contest to give names to their snowplows in the fleet. Citizens could submit their ideas for new names and then have the public vote on it. It was a huge success! There were many funny and unique to Minnesota names for the orange snow removal force. […]
So many people bemoan and complain about the weather here. We all know it gets hot and humid in the summer, and bitter cold with windchills in the winter. A friend told me a story of coworker visiting from the Carolina’s this last week who literally asked, “How can you live here?!” He could just […]
