A subzero morning ushered a late spring snow storm out of the northwoods. More than a foot of snow fell with this last event. An official 22 inches was reported along the Gunflint Trail. Over three feet of snow greets the unsuspecting traveler if one mistakingly steps off the trail. Otherwise the packed trails bode well for swift travel. Despite the warm glaring sun and chorus of birds in the woods spring doesn't seem to want to begin!
I'm just happy to be home. I've been on the road for the most part of the last couple of weeks driving white-knuckled through two major winter storms. Then when I am home I'm busy getting white-washed behind the snow thrower preparing for the next round. Our travels down south have allowed us to resupply with some much-needed pantry items as well as building supplies for interior projects that I'll be pecking away at in the next month or so.
Typically at this point in the season we would be hiking and biking. However, this year sleds are still the preferred mode of transportation for Penelope.
