Here today, gone tomorrow

This has been a weird winter in Duluth.  For a city that welcomed me with 45 inches of snow in the first two weeks and temperatures plummeting to near 50 below on several occasions, this winter has been exceptionally mild.  There have been a couple snowstorms, but nothing major, which makes Derek sad.  However, the storms that have blanketed the northland have been relatively serene.  My neighborhood in Duluth, Lakeside, has seen little of the big storms to push through the area.  Go over the hill and it's a different story.

As I was driving back to Duluth a couple weeks ago, I was thinking about this when I drove into some thick snow squalls just south of Superior.  Just about every square inch of the landscape turned white, which forced me to drive slower, but when things look like what they do below, it's a good thing.  And like most storms to pass through my area, the remnants of this storm lasted for a day then were gone as quickly as they came.
