It's been one of those perpetually weird winters where there's lots of snow but in-between heavy snowfalls there's unpredictable other weathers blowing through. One morning had dense, wet fog that coated all of the trees with thick white frost. Driving from … Continue reading Duluth in Winter / Early Spring →
