Spring? What spring?

This time of year, the Minnesota cousins are usually watching crocuses creep up and enjoying strengthening sunshine. Not this year! We've had two bouts of wet, heavy snow in the last week here in lovely Robbinsdale. But that's nothing compared to what Duluth got. The blizzard there even inspired UMD student Noah to wear socks for once! Here are a couple of photos Duluthians took during "the frozen hurricane," as it was dubbed (technically, wind speeds during Duluth's blizzard reached tropical-storm levels, not quite cyclone speed): Confused robins adorn a snowy tree. Canal Park, where Noah and his friends like to hang out, was overrun by giant waves. Luckily, the goofs in this photo aren't Noah and his friends.
