11k Wintery Steps

As is my tradition, 10k+ steps deserves a story. As is my brand, those steps are still in the deep of winter.

The day started out at 7:00am. An icy deep freeze of a Night took me 20 minutes to scrape off and warm up the car. The roads were drifted and partially ice covered to make it pleasant.


It is amazing to me how clear these driving shots look when there is reduced visibility and blowing snow in real life. The smartphone must be filtering them out for picture clarity.

The irony that the ice cream place that is closed all winter opens today shows how ready we are for winter to be over

Fields are still frozen and snow banks have occasionally started to melt but are holding out.

A quick stop to shoot a pic of a client who is now booking spring outdoors projects in anticipation of warmer weather.

Where there was once icicles weighing hundreds of pounds, the accumulation of snow is starting to slide off.

Around noon, the sun decided to make a showing. The sky is still cool but we are getting up to the freezing mark during the day. The sun is starting to hint are holding warmth.

Perhaps this will be my last 10k day of steps? Been around the sun too many times to believe that. Happy winter!

That looks so much like Minnesota right now. The forecast is looking good for the next ten days though--warmer days are ahead! There's nothing like that first 60 or 70 degree day.

Oh I have memories of flying into msp in the middle of winter and being very particular of my rental car knowing the drive would be fun.

Looking at our 10-day forecast, looks like a high between 40 and 56 freedom units so hopefully you are right!

There's nothing worse than landing here in the middle of winter, especially when you've come from a place that's warmer. Nice! Although it's been a relatively mild winter spring will be more than welcomed.

We don't get mountains of snow anymore like what I see here, its more dribbles. 2010 was the last time I saw anything like this.

I think I remember a satellite picture of the UK from 2010 and it looked like a big white ball. This snow actually had a week of melty sun to reduce so it was much worse. A rash of ice dams on local roofs caused havoc and pulled eaves troughs off many homes.

The appearance of ice in the road is eye-catching. Though I haven't witness the appearance of ice before yet,
