The snow is up to my head practically on some corners, but it's hot here in Duluth. WEATHER. Also Mountain Iron Buhl girls basketball is off to the Class 1A championship. varsity.startribune.com/mn-girls-bas...

It is wild outside in Duluth. There are massive ice chunks falling from trees and the streets look like they’re covered in broken glass.

It’s a mighty rip-roaring weather day, which is not visible in this image. :(

Every time I encounter a woolly bear I take a photo of it? Not sure why. In case it’s the last one of the season? They don’t translate well to photo. Anyway, yesterday in Hermantown. (Though my phone is full of these)

"In the end, they voted no: eye contact is terrible." It's early, but this from a column by @stribrooks.bsky.social is my favorite sentence of the day. www.startribune.com/brooks-smile...

I just drove from West Duluth to Canal Park on a fully functioning I35. No delays. No merging. Exits open. No zipper merge deniers. I’m not crying you are.

Sometimes my inner Former College Women's Hockey Beat Writer comes out and posts things here that have nothing to do with Duluth. varsity.startribune.com/emily-pohl-h...

“Anyway, we were flush with cash because we had just sold our tickets to see David Copperfield …” — my partner, just now, tucking a delicious sentence into a completely different story.

I’ll have lived here half my life in November. What even was Rochester?
