After shoveling a tiny perimeter around my garage door this morning, I put on my Steger Mukluks and made the short hike to my neighborhood James Gang Coffeehouse and Eatery. The temp is around zero with a stiff north wind.
Co-owner Jeff Ewald opened up at 7 am sharp and had the fireplace going. Ahhhh. Later, Jeff teamed up with Greta and Paul to make me a breakfast burrito. Yum.
How much snow did we get? Hard to tell. Lakeville got 17 inches and Faribault got 10, according to NOAA. Somewhere in the middle, it would seem, though I’ll guess high and go with 15.
