Wow, we made it an entire week without snow!
While I'm as anxious as anyone to start logging a few warm days... it was an awesome Winter for snow lovers. As a avid snowmobiler, I logged more than a 1,000 miles this season. I got in two "saddle bag" weekends covering more than 400 miles each -- bringing little more than a toothbrush and a swimsuit. Nothing like a hot tub after a long day on the trail.
Conditions on the North Shore could not have been better. The first trip started in Two Harbors. Day one was ride to Grand Marais. Day two: Bust over to Ely. Day three: back to Two Harbors. Bitter COLD weekend with a high about minus seven degrees -- but it kept the lightweights at home and the traffic to a minimum.
The second trip started in Hayward, WI... up to Bayfield for lunch... across Superior to Ashland (Look out for ice heaves) and over to Hurly, WI just time for last call. Then a relaxing trip back to Hayward. What an awesome weekend.
Now it's time to prep the sleds for summer and crack out the canoe.

I'm a reporter for Fox 9 News. You'll usually see me on the 5pm news... but I'm known to show up just about any time. March 5th marked my 20th year in the business. Wow time flies. I was born in Chicago and grew up in the western Suburbs. I moved to the Twin Cities five years ago and never looked back. I miss "Chicago Style" hot dogs but Minnesota has so much more to offer the year round. I'm an avid do-it-yourselfer, and recently put some of my home improvement experience to work as a contributing writer on two books: Yankee Magazine’s, "Now that’s Ingenious" and "Cut the Clutter and Stow the Stuff," for Rodale. I now live in the west metro with my wife Nanci and daughters Ashley and Lauren... "GO SKIPPERS"
