Nice, Auntie!
Meanwhile, after a fairly mild autumn (including a recent record high), winter abruptly arrived in the past 24 hours, with a cold rain changing quickly to wet snow driven by winds up to 60 mph (97 km/hr). The Twin Cities area received only 1-5 inches (25-125mm) of snow, but areas north and northwest of here received much more than that. The winds and snow caused some semi-trailer accidents that closed Interstate 94 in north central Minnesota for some time yesterday.
Temperatures will be well below average over the long (US) Thanksgiving weekend, with more plowable snow coming this weekend, and temperatures dropping to around 0F (-17C) - and wind chills around -20F (-29C).
The first real snow and cold of the season are here!
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.
