Work was closed for me this day, so I was allowed to stay home, and be lazy. Well, not so much. When the Mrs. had to go to work I shoveled out the back drive. While I was at the sidewalks needed clearing too.
Nice, heavy, and with the constant waves on the radar, it was a shovel, rest, repeat, most of the day. At least I remembered to throw with the wind.
We did have some excitment when thunder rolled a few times. A dash cam actually caught a lightning strike near Alexandria Mn.
One curiousity was the sleet that fell. It was a dark orange, or brown color. The evening news stated that it was elsewhere in the state as well. As it turns out, the front that pulled moisture from the Gulf of Mexico also pulled a lot of airborne dirt with it for the thousand miles all the way from Texas
