Woke up this morning and there were three inches of snow on the ground. I'm late so I rush to clear the damp white stuff off my car just to slowly slide into traffic on U.S. 41. Thank goodness people could slowly swerve around me until I could move. There's more snow expected for tonight when I need to drive for three hours to Ontonagon to talk to U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Menominee. Pray I return in one piece. Minnesota Public Radio is starting their winter pledge campaign. Program interruptions and delays. Hoo-ray! (At least it's not the horrific self-help specials PBS airs.)
