Nice Day

It looks like a nice day out today but the wind seems a little sharp. I see that the snowmobilers are thinking it is a great day to ride. I've seen a few out my window while I was cleaning this morning go by on the trail. Last night when I was on my bus run I saw that the trail up by Dora Lake had been groomed and looked pretty nice. I suppose there won't be too many more weekends for the snowmobilers.

Haven't heard anything on if the perch are biting.

Hard to believe that February is almost over. The year is already flying by fast.

Monday, March 2, 6pm - Squaw Lake Community Center there will be a meeting with Firewise of Itasca County for the purpose of getting contractors to help with the problem areas that showed up on the Firewise Evaluations that the fire departments went around and completed. Not sure what all is going to be discussed, but if you are a contractor, or you want to know more about the Firewise program stop in.

Just a reminder if you have items that you would like to have on our consignment auction let us know. Also, if you have items that you'd like to donate to the Fire Dept. let Julie know.

Have a great day.
Julie

A little Minnesota Humor

Nice and sunny this afternoon but pretty cool this morning. Hope you like the following poem was taken off Craig's list Rants and Raves and didn't show an author.

It's winter in Minnesota
and the gentle breezes blow,
70 miles per hour at 52 below!
Oh, how I love Minnesota
When the snow's up to your butt:
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose is frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful,
I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Minnesota,
Cause I'm frozen to the ground.

Have a good day,
Julie

Don't like today's weather?

On February 26 and 27, 1971 very low barometric pressure, freezing rain, and 10 to 18 inches of snow downed power lines around Virginia. Some areas were without power for five days.
