You guessed right!
I was in Grand Meadow for about 30 hours and was teaching for 16 of that. The snow was, at the time, pretty minimal, and I figured I would hightail it home, since it was (and did) going to snow down there that night.

As for why I was up north? When I was up there at New Years, I left my glasses at Embers in Duluth. Wednesdy was the first chance I had to go get them. Fortunately, I can see well enough without them.

Send me some fresh snow, would 'ya?!
