Another blast

If you thought winter was done after the blast of snow last week — think again! A new, harder blast of snow was delivered to the Minneota area Monday night and all day Tuesday.

It shut down the Minneota schools and about every other school around the area.

It stopped out-of-town traffic and put a crimp in business activities on Tuesday. During the height of the storm, some folks tried to dig out and get a heads up on clearing it away.

The alley behind the Main Street businesses had a growing pile of snow as the day went on.

There was little anyone could do but “stay out of the way,” of the mighty forces of Mother Nature.

On Wednesday, Minneota Schools were two hours late and the city maintenance crew was freeing the community from this later blast by Mother Nature.
