We have a very nasty ice storm going on in Duluth.  I decided to take a vacation day and not go in when I heard the forecast yesterday.  Boy, am I glad I did.  I just called my hairdresser and cancelled my hair and nail appointment, you know it is bad when I do that!

I got a call from one of our clinics, they wanted me to change the Auto-Answer system because they are closing.  I lost the MPR news station and I am now listening to a very long list of businesses closing on KDAL 610 AM.

The ice has damaged our flag as you can see from the picture.  The power has flashed once, the only thing it did at the time was knock the time out on my microwave.

City storm drains are freezing up so water is accumulating in intersections, making things even worse.  I35 is wet and driveable but they are cautioning everyone as they exit.

Good day to stay home.
