Roof Raking
Despite being snowed in I got some other important things done. Snow was pretty heavy, packed, and difficult to get off the roof. Maybe it'll be a little easier once the sun softens it up a bit. Quite the view, huh?
My Bitstrip Self
Was snowed in today. No school but the alley entrance was too treacherous to brave. I saw a couple of cars stuck there. Oh well, I appreciated the time to be at home.
10 Inches
According to Matt Brickman we got just under 10 inches at the airport. No school today due to this.
Snow Day!

President's Day 2014
Lots of snow overnight. I was off today so I had the pleasure of shoveling all of it. My guess is that we got about 5 inches. The photo above was taken as Athena and I returned from a walk.

Full Snow Moon - February 14, 2014
From The Old Farmer's Almanac:
"February's full Moon is traditionally called the Full Snow Moon because usually the heaviest snows fall in February. Hunting becomes very difficult, and so some Native American tribes called this the Hunger Moon. Other Native American tribes called this Moon the 'Shoulder to Shoulder Around the Fire Moon', the 'No Snow in the Trails Moon', and the 'Bone Moon'. The Bone Moon meant that there was so little food that people gnawed on bones and ate bone marrow soup."

Yes, 40 Days Below Zero
It must have fallen below zero because about a half hour ago the National Weather Service tweeted:
"Today marks the 40th sub-zero low temperature recorded at the Minneapolis airport this winter."
40 Days Below Zero?
About an hour ago, local meteorologist Matt Brickman tweeted:
"0 degrees now in #MSP. When we fall below zero, that'll make 15 subzero starts in a row & 40 such days this winter! And Monday will be even colder."
