A long stretch of mild late-winter weather just before Mother Nature brings the hammer down one last time—it happens nearly every year here in Minnesota. Meteorologists live for this particular kind of storm. Yesterday different sources were beginning to forecast anywhere between 8” and 31” of snow by Sunday evening followed by blizzard level winds. I think the reality of it will land somewhere closer to that lower prediction. I took the picture above yesterday afternoon before the snow started. The squirrels stuffed themselves all day in preparation for what was coming. This next photo was taken just before we turned in for the night. And this is what I woke up to. It looks like, by this evening we’ll have a little over a foot of snow on the ground. Winter’s last hurrah, indeed. Thankfully I was able to get out last night after dinner to stock up on the provisions we needed before all hell broke loose. I can't help but wonder if thundersnow just a Minnesota phenomena?
