We had a great show last night in Waverly, Iowa…and I’ll write more about that tomorrow. Â I’m waiting for a few pictures of my workshop with the teachers from Bremwood School. Â What a fun afternoon!
Today – we continued the Weather Channel Tour. Â I mentioned in a previous blog that we’ve been on this tour for a while now. Â If there’s a major weather disturbance somewhere in the country, we’re probably in the middle of it. Â This week is no exception.
We left out of Waverly this morning as the temperatures plummeted from the thirties to sub zero! Â High winds and resulting wind chills today are brutal. Â We are supposed to be in Detroit Lakes tonight for a workshop there Thursday afternoon. Â I spoke with our contact there yesterday – Amy – and she said that they were in the middle of a blizzard – 15 inches of snow and high winds.
This morning, temperatures were extremely cold in Waverly and the winds were still very high. Â After our “Lincoln Experience,” I’m making sure there’s plenty of additive in our diesel fuel!
I called Minnesota Road Conditions to find out the state of Interstate 94 and US Highway 10 before hitting the roads today. Â Turns out, they were both CLOSED due to massive snow drifts, packed snow, and ice! Â We pulled over in St. Cloud for the night (where it’s very cold – see above). Â We’ll finish the rest of the trip on Thursday. Â Here’s the way Detroit Lakes looks tonight:
Look at those dangerous wind chills for tomorrow – minus 25 degrees!!!!!
