Wayne checks in from his back yard in the Beautiful Frozen Northland

Our dear friend Wayne is the resident philosopher, the muse of Ranier, Minnesota. If you don't know where Rainier is, it's Up North. Way North, where it is 19 degrees below zero and plunging tonight. A possibility of minus 50 degrees. You're actually looking at Canada from across frozen Rainy Lake in the photo above. You're also looking at the magic of the storied wintry blasts, as they dance with the snow, twisting and forming mystical shapes for the amusement of the cabin-bound. From time to time Wayne makes observations about the world around him and favors us with a comment or two, as he throws another log on the fire. Tonight is one of those special times.

Finally got a good snowfall (about 10 inches). Good cover for the drain fields and and water lines. Not to mention the snowmobilers who have been bitching lately. Sorry you can't get out to golf in Arizona Stan. I kinda know how you feel. 
It's gonna warm up on the weekend here too. Should hit zero.
