I'm in Minnesota, and we went up to our cabin today! Today wasn't as warm as yesterday, but 46 degrees isn't bad! There is very little snow north of the Cities. We are 3 hours north of the cities, back in the woods, on a lake, and there was only a smattering of snow left in the woods. The lake is still frozen, with one lone ice fishing house on it. The shoreline has started to thaw. It was sunny and serene, and incredibly quiet. We stayed for about an hour, walked around and enjoyed being able to be there on the First of February, be able to drive down our driveway, and not have to snowshoe in from the road! Normally there would be 4+ feet of snow! It was a fun adventure, and a great 8 hours day trip!
