Good morning......boy, we had a winter advisory beginning at 4 p.m. yesterday, but though it got cloudy, nothing happened. But overnight.......WOW.........Wham, it really came down, and must have been hard and whiteouts , etc. because this a.m. the tree branches (pine tree) are bent way down from the weight, everything is pure & blinding white, everything closed (schools, offices, etc) and am sure the skiers here are on cloud 9. Main St. was filled with snow yesterday from other areas, there is a huge "Birkebeiner" bridge erected across the 4 lane highway, as skiers come out from the route thru the woods, across a lake, up over that bridge onto Main, and down the 4 blocks to the finish line. No idea how they now will manage parking with all this new snow. Today is the shorter race, called the Korteloppet, and tomorrow will be the massive one, the Birkebeiner.
A friend called me for lunch yesterday, picked me up, and so I got to see skiers out walking, carrying their skies (they practice) and the tons of cars making traffic rather difficult. I know the supermarket has their main entrance blocked because the street is closed as it is crossed to get on that bridge. So, the only way in is thru a gas station on the other highway, and good luck trying to make a left turn thru all the traffic. O.K. I know you all have no idea what the blazes I am talking about, and sure wish I could do those little videos, but.......well, last night's TV was full of this stuff, and I still wonder if other areas of the country will carry any of it under the "sports" news. LOL
Not snowing currently, but Sat. nite, another storm is arriving.
