Wow. That was unexpected.
On Monday of this week, we got hit with anywhere from an inch to about 15 inches in the Twin Cities metro area. It is November, and it certainly has been known to snow early and heavy (the infamous Halloween Blizzard of 1991, Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940), but we really weren't expecting it until late last week. Novak Weather started predicting a change in the storm track, and it kept adjusting from 100 miles south of the metro to about 50mi north.
Anyway, we now have enough snow in the Minneapolis area to make riding very difficult without a fat bike (next year's project), running less fun than it normally is, and paddling out of the question. So even on fairly thin snow cover, ski season starts on Saturday. It should be a great day to get out, use some muscle groups that have been completely ignored, try out some wax and get a few kilometers in. With luck, a few pictures after.
