The weekend was scheduled to involve a nice trip to Minneapolis to see our kids and granddaughters. Things do not always work out as planned. We had intended to make this trip two weeks ago, but did not leave town because of a late season blizzard. This time we made it out of town and were caught in another blizzard. Now, North Dakota / Minnesota is the region of the country that is prone to winter storms, but we are now in the last week of April.
Anyway, we were lucky to make into a town – Fergus Falls – and find a hotel. Might have spent the night in the ditch or at a Salvation Army shelter. The total snowfall was 18 inches.
The interstate was closed until late this afternoon and the trucks were lined up trying to get going again. The view from the overpass revealed the problem.
We have spent a little time driving around Fergus Falls for something to do. Check out this greenhouse “closed for the day” in the Kmart parking log.
