Winds from the West

Can I just say that this weather is ridiculous! I thought moving to the cities would get me out of the wind-blown tundra that is Fargo-Moorhead, but apparently not. Part of the fence was missing this morning, I saw a house with part of it siding blown off, a lamp pole was knocked over as well as a stop light...just craziness. The wind also helped the sleet accumulate on my car windows helping me realize that I do not have an ice scraper/brush thing. One necessity for winter in the midwest, so it has been put on my list of things to get. So this morning I used a dust pan with a squeegee thing to scoop the unwanted precipitation off my windows...not sure if my father would be proud of my creativity or disappointed at my lack of preparedness. Anywho...it was a memorable morning and a great way to say goodbye to fall and hello winter! Bring it.
