Now With HD

5 Mar, 2007

Over the weekend, our TV came in stock at Target and we were all over that. We now have a nice new high definition TV for watching movies and playing Wii! I didn’t realize that you could get HDTV over the normal airwaves too. I was delighted when I got one HD channel with the […]

Snow Storm In Pictures

2 Mar, 2007

Well I asked for it, a real snow storm, and we got one. I’m not sure the exact amount but it’s somewhere over 15 inches. Maybe even 20. Here are a few photos we took this morning. Down the street with the flash on. The snow drift on the deck. View off the deck. Neighbors […]

Awaiting a Snow Storm [update]

24 Feb, 2007

Well it’s been hyped all week, the biggest snow storm in years. We’d have 3-5 inches Friday night, up to 8 on Saturday and another 5 or so on Saturday night. Well here it is, Saturday morning at 9:30 and we are just getting our first flakes. I’m skeptical that we’ll get a foot. That’s […]

My Airbag is Frozen

5 Feb, 2007

I told you it was cold here in Minnesota. I don’t think we’ve hit 0 since Friday and it’s not exactly going to warm up anytime soon. Granted 12 is going to feel balmy and by the time it hits 30 we’ll be in shorts. 😀 However, it’s so cold that I think my airbag […]

Cold enough to freeze your Winnebago

2 Feb, 2007

Not exactly sure what that means but it’s cold enough to freeze anything you got. Our highs this weekend will be lucky to hit 0 and windshields will range from -15 to -40. I’m considering plugging in my car for the first time in years. However it’s to cold to go outside and do so. […]

I Love and Hate Snow

31 Dec, 2006

Talk about annoying. I’ve been waiting for snow since October. Instead, we get rain or mild temps. Heck it was about 45 yesterday! We even had a brown Christmas. Then today came. It was raining pretty good all morning while I was out looking for a Nintendo Wii and as soon as I got home, […]

Senator Dayton Wants to Sue the Weather Service

20 Sep, 2006

Senator Mark Dayton of Minnesota wants to sue the National Weather Service in Chanhassen Minnesota because they didn’t issue a tornado warning soon enough. The tornado ripped though the town of Rodgers and one person died. However, I can’t quite see how that’s the National Weather Service’s fault. Last time I checked, the weather is […]

Softball Sized Hail

24 Aug, 2006

I’ve never seen softball sized hail but it slammed down on Northfiled Minnesota today. Lucky for us, we don’t live there, but it’s not that far away. Windows were smashed, cars dented, holes punched in just about everything and plants destroyed. To make it worse, about 12 hours later, the area was hit by sever […]

Some Like it HOT

29 Jul, 2006

Some like it hot, the rest of us think this is a little to warm. Last nigh as we were driving back from a friends house, it was 86 degrees. The time? Midnight! With temperatures reaching 100 for the next few days, it’s amazing to hear on the weather that a cool down is coming. […]

Hail Covers the Ground Like Snow

24 Jun, 2006

It’s kind of hard to see, but this was taken on our camera phone in Cologne Minnesota today. The white areas are hail. Piles of hail. Yards were covered, roofs were covered and this intersection had a foot of hail piled up. We had driven though part of this storm with zero visibility from heavy […]
