Re: Am I really in Duluth?
We got about 3/4" really light fluff on top of hard mud. Supposedly a big storm will come through about the 13th, we'll see. My skates arrived today, will get at least a few days of skating in before another inch falls.

Re: Am I really in Duluth?
Got 3" here overnight. Local forecast still doesn't inspire confidence but the forecasts for White Pine and Houghton look to get about a foot or so next Thurs-Sun. Truck is still running so I expect some trips to the porkies with some nordic trail and some dh.

I skied at the ski hill today, first time out. I might be able to take Gamme for a spin next weekend.
Midwest Telefest is scheduled for Feb 9-11. Heikki better get busy!

Pretty wild that In January I may have to drive 4+ hours SOUTH to find enough snow to use good skis.
