subject: More Iceberg Excitement

[z0r_palmer]

6:00 PM, Friday, April 4Last night we had an iceberg that didn't show up on the radar. I was asleep already, but apparently it was about 100 feet long and we came very close to it without noticing. The rest of the night we slowed down to watch for more icebergs. The Palmer may be an icebreaker, but it probably wouldn't fare so well against an

Hi!

Sorry I have not been online for a week. Life got busy, and will stay busy for a few more weeks. But I will try to keep in touch. It was even more fun to read all the things that have happened in one lump! Your hail picture was very interesting!!! If you had not braved the deck, we could not have seen that. And who would have ever thought you would be coming across an iceberg in your sleep for real! Aunt Jorie is the best metorologist in the family - up until now. I wonder what she thinks of your low pressure event.

Again this weekend we drove up to Moorhead and back down again. All on Sunday. Bob & Rob are working on a computer project. I am working on a rehab project in the basement. There was an unusual snow on the way home. It actually got bad while we were there. On the ride home I started tallying the number of cars in the ditch. There were 11 cars before we left snow and hit rain. Uncle Bob liked the rain better than the snow....the snow was large and heavy flakes that fell and iced up right away. It was like driving on a hockey rink.
Meg has her big St Paul Parks clean up on Sat. She is hoping that lots of volunteers show up. The weather should be much better!!! Some years it has been sunny and tanning weather, others were rainy and cold...but never snow. I think the snow will be gone by this weekend.
I am working on a website for my business, and business cards and a brochure. Naturally I am getting help from Aunt Beth, and anyone else who is not sick of hearing about it!!! It seems to take forever for me to make a decision. Why does using the perfect shade of green or the font become an obsession with me?
