The poor cowboys out there on the Iron Range!   ;}

Although this is a serious weather story, I must admit that everytime I hear the words "Iron Range" I think of Da Yoopers and their song about the guy who wanted to be a cowboy on the Iron Range. Yes, yes, the snowstorm is originally reported from Minnesota, but the Iron Range is byond technicalities such as squiggly lines on a map. (In fact, Da Yoopers music was flown in space, thus proving that Yooper--and thus Iron Range--culture is inter-galactic.)

Back on Earth, school had to be closed in some places due to the snow.I-94 westbound out of Alexandria, MN is shut down. More snow and sleet is expected today.
