The weekend that started with a forecast for a few flurries turned in to one of the biggest storms in our time in Minnesota. All told almost 20 inches fell before it finally subsided. It came right in the middle of Katie's visit which ended up changing all sorts of plans for the weekend. But all in it was a great time and we had a wonderful visit with our niece/cousin. So we missed the day trip to Stillwater and the search for some memorable new restaurant and substituted with a Sunday afternoon at Mall of America and dinner at Santorini, our local Greek restaurant. There were six of us and we were probably half the crowd in the restaurant. We still have several weeks of winter to go but this is already the biggest of our tenure here, at 80 inches thus far. Typical for us has been 45-60. So things are back to normal and after a few days last week of actually seeing grass, we are now back to deep piles of white everywhere. Sunday night was spent by both Katie and me killing time at the airport waiting for our flights to take off, she heading back home, me off to Newark. I finally crawled into bed at a hotel in Princeton NJ around 3am.
