CLOQUET — I don’t know about you, but the mid-week snowstorms really throw off my sense of timing for the weekend. It feels like the storm signifies that the weekend has arrived, and we’re going to spend it snowblowing and shoveling. Anyway,
here are snowfall totals from across the Northland.
Looks like Wisconsin’s South Shore took the brunt of this one.
Cloquet Area Fire District crews spent had to deal with the snow Wednesday, Feb. 22 and Thursday, Feb. 23 while they put out a fire and monitored the scene
at Bergquist Imports, Erbert & Gerbert’s
and a warehouse connected to the building. Thankfully there were no injuries.
Here are a few more headlines for your consideration this week:
