A Very Long Day

Star Tribune says: “Heaviest March snowfall in more than two years.” “30 miles [yes, miles] of parking lot east of Hudson.” “Three-foot drifts on the interstate.”

OleNelson says: “Lovely day for a drive.”

Yes, Timmy H. and I attempted the drive from Minneapolis to Madison this morning/afternoon/evening/night. And after five and a half hours of driving, we had reached Hudson.

For those of you not familiar with the route, if this

is the distance between Minneapolis and Hudson. We spent one two-hour block of time in park on the interstate.

Truly the worst roads I have ever encountered.

Shit - it's going to be here tomorrow, isn't it? Maybe we should abandon the city and just come back in May. Fucking winter.
