Dec 22 2017 MN DNR: "The best present you can give family and friends this holiday season? Your presence. Think twice. Don't be fooled by early ice."

If going out have ice picks. If walking, on a snowmobile or ATV, wearing a life jacket may help.

It was a cold day in Brainerd Minnesota. There is a saying that there is 2 seasons in Minnesota road construction and winter. Today felt like a mix of both. There was road construction prepwork on South 6th street. Heavy equipment was used to string wreaths and lights on Laurel Street. MidMinnesota Federal Credit Union was getting insulation and roofing.

on Friday October 27 I seen rain, then a blizzard, and later large waves on lake superior at Duluth MN. I took video and photos in the afternoon Sunday November 5 2017.
