Well, the last 24 hours here at Coffee lake we have had just under 6 inches of Rain!
Many other area's in northern MN, have gotten more than us, causing washed out roads and closed bridges. Duluth is almost an island, has all the roads on the south and west and east sides of town were closed, every major highway and even the interstate. The only way in and out is on hwy 53 going north to Eveleth, and down 169 through Grand Rapids.
We have water covering 2/3 of our dock, and the strong winds moved my swim raft to about 40 feet from the shoreline, closer to the dock. Needless to say everything is soft and muddy.
The next few days we hope to see some cooler dryer weather, and when ever the wind dies down, we experience the new swarms of mosquito's. But it is Minnesota, and this is a rarity as far as the rain fall goes, but the mosquto's are part of summer!
My next roadtrip back to Duluth is scheduled for late next week, if the roads cooperate!
