2024 will go down in Minnesota lore as the winter that never was. You’d think that would bring on much rejoicing that we got to skip the -35 F degree temps, -50 degree windchills, multi-day snow storms, and terrible driving conditions. A typical winter here offers all of those features, starting in October or November and usually lasting until April or May.
We also had an incredibly warm and dry (we’re in a drought) winter here in eastern NE. The experience has left me feeling a bit displaced, I guess. The ice skating is just incredible and yes, “holy” is a good word.
Love the photos - especially the one where the curving line of dark trees are silhouetted against the sky, and three distant skaters are silhouetted against the greyish-blue ice. ❄️✨
Wow! The river ice skating looks amazing!!
That sounds amazing. The pictures are beautiful.
We had rhe wettest February on record here in the UK. It is eerie and unsettling knowing the weather just isn't as it should be.
