Communities in southern Minnesota are digging out

snowblower. This was the first time a lot of us in the southeast metro had to dust off the shovel or snowblower as Adam Duxter found this cold snap is really a snap back to reality. Shoveling and shivering. The familiar sounds of winter. Not necessarily music for Mike Hill. I don't like it. I could have held off until me. It's been very nice. I really liked it. But yeah, I don't snowmobile anymore or anything, so I don't need this. As his entire family is preparing for the winter, Adam Duxter is still in the snow. He's been working on his snowmobile for a while now. He's been working on his snowmobile for a while now. He's been working on his snowmobile for a while now. It's a great idea. I've been paying attention to my snowmobile for a while now, and I think the snowmobile is going to make a huge impact on Adam's tomorrow. I don't need this. As his entire street in Red Wing digs out, it's digging up the memory of what winter should and does feel like. I love Minnesota, and I love the snow, but I don't miss shoveling at all. The older I get, the less I want to do it. And regardless of age. Just preparing her for what's ahead. It's all hands on deck. I feel like we're always going the road. It's a little bit of a challenge. But it's a good thing. It's a good thing. Better learn now than later. And maybe it's a good thing there's not too much to shovel because what you can't see is how cold it is outside. We're talking the kind of cold that hurts your face, even with hat, gloves, mittens, the works, you name it. The kind of cold that's best enjoyed inside on a day like today. Out here the roads are treacherous and the crossways need clearing. And like a hasty scam from a shady salesman, Mike knew deep down any promise shoveling would not come this year would it be true? Hopeful. Yeah. I was very hopeful. I thought possibly I wouldn't have to touch a snowblower. But oh, well, you live in Minnesota, so you get to do this. Adam Duxter, WCCO News. 3
