Welcome! Cold temperatures returned in a big way after a mild weekend. Starting Tuesday morning with -25, Wednesday -26, and Thursday -19......that is a trio of arctic mornings for sure. See photo below if you're curious what happens to hot (nearly boiling) water when it is thrown in the air at -26. This week we hosted the Walker 4th grade on Tuesday and FAIR Middle School (Crystal) and St. Joseph's Lab School (St. Joseph) Wed-Fri. The kids from FAIR and St. Joseph's had a great look at the lunar eclipse (see photo) on Wednesday night, and generally enjoyed the sunny weather and great ski trails.This winter has truly been a return to the cold winters of days gone by. December 2007 averaged a whopping 12 degrees colder than 2006, January 2008 was 5 degrees colder than 2007, and February has thus far averaged 2 degrees colder than last year (data provided by Deep Portage Weather Station). In total we have experienced 12 days that hit -20 or lower in Dec.-Feb. 2008, compared to 2 days of -20 in the same time period last year. You may remember that last year was a mild winter, and that nearly all the truly cold weather we saw occurred during an impressive cold front in the first two weeks of February. See you next week!
