What to Watch Today

  • Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
  • Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
  • Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

Duluth and my neighborhood have something in common
this morning, gray skies. So ready for Mr. Sun to make
an appearance. So, how is everyone this Friday morning?

Good morning everyone! I see it was 18 and lightly snowing in Duluth when I checked in here.
I will be paying some bills online today (the ones that aren’t paid by automatic draft).
I hope everyone has a great day 🥰

Good morning, TEA! You’ve certainly had your share of snow
this winter. On the average, how much do you usually receive
each winter?
Had my first bone density scan this morning. It was easy peasy.
Hope that checks out and will not need some type of medication.

Last year we had a total of 8″ of snow....this was a really bad winter for us.
I hope your bone density test comes back with good results. 👍

Good morning everyone 
Snowing in Duluth, but thank heavens it is not snowing in my neck of the woods.
We had 21″ of snow Sunday. Hubby cleared 1/3 of our double driveway and sidewalk in front of our porch.
Sunny today with a high of 31°. Sun will melt some of the snow today.
Thank you all for your concern and prayers. The blizzard is now history.😉
Have a nice day.

Good hearing from you this morning, TEA! Glad the blizzard is
finally over and melting is the next step to clear it all the way.
