FREEZING WEATHER IN MINNESOTA AND OTHER NORTHERN STATES

 It's a cold morning again here in Minnesota. If this is an unfamiliar season to you who may read this curmudgeonly comment  KNOW THIS: Ice on lakes and ponds is still way to thin. It will NOT hold an adult or most children. Icy water shocks. People drown in frigid water. Stay on land for at least two more weeks of below freezing weather.

Another thing: Driving normally on snow and icy roads can be a killer. SLOW DOWN. Learn how your vehicle responds to hard braking or attempts to make sudden turns. The number of fender benders and vehicles in ditches on the freeways is a good indicator of too many driving too fast for current condition!

Increases following distance and slow down. Stay safe as winder descends on all of us!
