It's early Sunday and it's just begun. Ruthie wanted to get a jump on it - we haven't received much snow yet. As late as yesterday afternoon, our snowfall amounts were predicted to be 2 - 4". Then this morning they placed us in the 12 - 18" range! So, while Ruthie challenged the elements, I headed out in the big Expedition to go a mile and a half down the road to the convenience store to re-stock the necessities in case we get socked in for a while. I would have been more comfortable going by dogsled. Interstates 29 and 94 are already closed in the Dakotas - I'm sure 94 will be closed here soon. Shoveling out will not be fun - the temperature is predicted to stay below ZERO until Thursday. After the girls basketball game yesterday (we won), we met friends at Weston Station for dinner. We had a long visit with Mark. He is going to work for his brother in Green Bay. But he said the restaurant will continue on - without even advertising, he has had a couple of interested parties contact him about buying it and continuing its 50-year history (through three owners) of excellence. Whew!
