Fence Progress

jeremy — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 14:07:09 +0000

We took a little time off, on account of poison ivy, a car sale, and a car purchase. Now we have a Harbor Freight nail gun and a week off to git ‘r done. We got about a third of it done in two hours yesterday, so hopefully we’ll be able to get the rest …

Office Flooding

Now that we have a thaw, my office is taking on water. Hopefully I get relocated somewhere nice.

Schneesturm 2

It’s February, and like lots of the country, we are getting snow. Light, powdery snow. It’s been slowly snowing since Thursday, but fortunately it’s not been heavy. None of that is really news, and it’s really no big whoop. The real purpose of this post is to post a new picture of the backyard, because the …

Schneesturm

It’s snowing in the Red River Valley again. We have had a spate of good weather lately. Which is good, but what makes it even better is that most of our relatives, who live in warmer climates, have been experiencing cooler temperatures. Ha! Really the only bummer is that the snow is so thick it has …

Flood!

To continue on with the weather theme, the whole area is abuzz with the latest event: Flood ’09. Fargo is in a prehistoric lake bed (really a silly place to build a city, except maybe it provides a little shelter from the wind?) The problem is that the whole area is flat. Really flat. The …

Blizzard, part Deux

jeremy — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:27:43 +0000

We’ve got another snow storm! This isn’t out of the ordinary for Fargo, but it’s a pretty serious storm. The temperature is about 0°F, and wind is somewhere between 25-42 MPH. They have closed I-94 between Fargo and Jamestown, and I-29 is closed from South Dakota to Canada. Most places closed for the day. I have …

It’s a little depressing coming back to the Winter in Fargo after spending weeks in warmer weather. However, we’ve had a mid-January thaw of sorts, and we get to tell impressive stories of surviving in minus-30˚ weather.

Blizzard!

Storm, Winter, Fargo. You guess the rest ;)

Old man winter approaches

jeremy — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:47:49 +0000

Winter in Fargo lasts a while. At times we get a pleasant-looking frost on the trees, like this guy next to the Cathedral of Saint Mary. This year, we got snow on March 22, and then the mother of all wet snows on April 6. Fortunately we have a decent snow blower. When it’s that wet, …
