I don't know about Bloomington, but we had snow in Duluth here this morning. About 7:30 a.m. it looked like a blizzard, although it was rain mixed with snow. The top of the pickup truck in the driveway definitely had an "accumulation" on it, but it wasn't what you'd call "measurable," just looked a little like frost. Believe me, with the cold and rather nasty wind, you're not missing anything here! Why is it so hard to adjust to winter when we have to do it every year?
Anyway, have a wonderful time and I hope you're able to forget about winter for a while. I do wish we could join you. But we'll be there, all in good time (January if all works out, and by then we'll really be glad to get away from the snow!)
