I Wonder If That Was My Dad On The Snowmobile Possibly Cause That Is The Color Of His Snowmobile And Jacket And We Live In Duluth

@kazoopilot Yes, but to get this much with an ENE wind is a perfect storm. Michigan gets north and west winds all the time which make snows like this happen often. In Duluth, it is pretty rare to have the perfect conditions for lake effect and have the wind blowing the right way.

@kazoopilot The real Perfect Storm,on Halloween of 1991, Duluth got about 3 feet in 24 hours,Park Point,by the Aerial Lift Bridge,had snow drifts high as telephone poles,it took a week to clear that area.,,,,Your right about Michigan, you guys sure get alot there.

is lake superiors water level dropping like what ive heard does it look like it in duluth im moving there in 2 months just curious

[justkarmatoo]

Surfing around today and found your video. Aug. 16 its over 100 degrees in Texas and has been for about a month. This video is a great reprieve.

[subscribem3plz]

You know your up north when all you can hear is snow blowers and snow plows.

Sable is a sweetheart! I miss Mn so much.

I WISH WE COULD HAVE ALL THAT SNOW HERE

[KiranGlitch]

you could make a castle the size of you with that amount of snow!!!!!!!!!!

[Naturebound]

lol. There is a Lake Ave that goes uphill but I bet you are thinking of 21st Ave East that goes uphill from 61/I35. Duluth can be a nightmare to drive in the winter. Its not uncommon to get stuck trying to get uphill. I have to change my routes in the winter when its bad. They do keep 21st ave east cleared pretty well though since its a major thoroughfare.

[gotjitz420]

I lived in Duluth for awhile isn't part of lake ave and other streets heated in the winter? great vid though your dog was having alot of fun

[hylander89]

man i cannot IMAGINE lake street at this time! I was to duluth last summer and thought omg what happens in an ice storm on that hill?!?!?! ( I may have got the street name wrong it goes up the hill from 61/ I35 and leads up towards the U of M and school of scholastica

[Naturebound]

Thanks everyone for all your comments! I have not been well for some time so have not been able to respond until now. Spring is coming up here but another storm is expected this week. :(  Still no snowblower lol.

[mpfb99]

it's so crazy because i live right below the munger trail and we hear snowmobiles blaring by at 4 in the morning

[DrDiddle]

I love your dog, Sable! What a doll. You guys need a snowthrower. Good job with all that snow. Good thing I live in the South (Minneapolis) and don't have to deal with all that snow! :-)

[jeecaye]

Wow that snow is pretty thick, good thing we dont have in Hawaii, although i want to see one !

[eightiespike]

We go through Duluth to get to Ely. I bet the snowmobile comes in handy up there. I always enjoy going over the bridge. Thanks for posting.

[joemaster3235]

i also live in minnesota come on snow days woooo

[crawley86]

I'm so jealous. We never get that kind of weather here in the UK. If it snows just 2CM the country comes to a stand still. It's rediculous really...

[chekyal8er]

Seriously that crazy! Im glad I live in Minnesota!I'm ready for winter.... the leaves are changing

[dathribab]

snow today in minnespolis!!!

[vegasvegas2]

I live in Hermantown Minnesota

[xKILLABASSISTx]

haha my cat's name is sable!!

[pen24]

Minnesota...there is a reason it's not for everyone gotta love it!

[mpfb99]

i remember that day the next day it was like 2 degrees it was sooooo cold

[Alex280]

Why is it all dogs act the same in fresh snow? Very cute, LOL

[giggleblaggle]

I live just north of Hermantown and we barely got 4 inches out of that storm. Crazy how localized that lake effect snow was.

[ntheoret]

Just by the sound your feet make when you walk, it also seems very cold. In Montreal we got a couple of big snow storms, and like you say, it's not even Winter yet. It's going to be a long one this year. I hope I'm wrong...

[fogggygyrl]

How adorable Sable is!! Nice amount of snow there in MN, NB.

[SusannTx]

We've been in the 80's here in Texas and I've been grumpy as I like it cold in winter, especially near Christmas.

But I don't think I could handle all that.

We Texans are kind of wusses in cold.

Enjoy your white Christmas.

Sable seems to be having fun.

[Naturebound]

Thanks! I am sure I wouldn't be able to handle the Texas summers either. lol. Have a nice Christmas!
