Like Texas, quiltqueen, Minnesota's weather changes within 5 minutes if one doesn't like it! We just got through an ice storm followed by 8 nches of heavy, wet snow and the devastation to trees, buildings, and electrical outages is almost unbelievable. We were without electricity here from 8 p.m. on Tuesday (the 9th) until this morning just before 11 a.m. Fortunately we have a generator which we ran until power was restored, but there are still a number of people who still have no power and won't have it until sometime next week. Hard to believe that this time last year our guys were nearly done with the spring field work and planting!
