View From My Window
April 01, 2023
This was the view from my window this morning.
As you can see, everything is covered with a few inches of new snow, heavy enough to have toppled a couple of the trees outside my window. Last night the power went out for a few hours. I was awake at 2:00 AM when the lights went out. I grabbed flashlights and lit all of my five candles. The power came back on a few hours later after I had gone to bed and woke me up.
We don’t need this snow. Stillwater, Minnesota where I live has been on flood alert since March 22. Last night’s precipitation and more that is expected over the next few days will add to the threat. Fortunately, it’s been cool so the snow melt has been slow and will continue to be so for the next week.
The city has closed off the public parking lots along the river and put up large, sand levees. As they say; prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
