63 years ago today there was a foot of snow on the ground
and the doctor who delivered me came to our home by horseback as his old jalopy wouldn't make in up the hills
Peace and everyone have a good day for me

I'll be helping my brother put the metal on his and his wifes new ceramic shop. My brother retired a couple weeks ago and his wife retired from teaching last year. They bought this ceramic business that was going out of business about 10 years ago and have had all the molds and kilns in storage just waiting for the day they retired. I'm so happy for them to get to live their dream.

4. Thank you
And with that I'm on my way out the door to do my days workplay. I say workplay because I'll be spending the day helping, working with my brother of 73 and my brother of 66 who just retired.

10. It's only March...we worry about the April snow storms and flooding in Fargo/Moorhead

I will try to find some examples on youtube.

For 1997...1997 was bad:

I moved back to this area in May of 2002. Fargo/Moorhead still had snow on the ground in May, 2002.

For 2008:
This youtube video claims to be near Bemidji: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwnN1dmrpeo
This one features comments by a young boy in the Hibbing/Grand Rapids area:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipmfWWsQvtY&feature=related
Did anyone say it could snow the end of April? This person said it well....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNROveHB7pA&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EamzlII4Mbc

These are the end of March, 2009 (I think): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA12YInrfvE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2ZhKTOd51M&feature=related

People are worried this year's flood will match or exceed the 1997 record flood.
