ON REPEAT.  A slight warmup gets pulled out from under us by the end of the week, with March expected to roll in like a lion.  We look at the cause of your cabin fever and check out some lake history and safety for your hunting buddy in today’s Three Things.

DAY RATING:

THREE THINGS:

RE-RUN.  Things look the same for this week as cold and snow give way to a deeper chill. Temperatures on Saturday will be stuck at -10 for highs and the -20s for lows with a good chance of wind chills hitting -45.

 

FISH THAT LAKE.  Lake Agassiz once stretched from near Hudson Bay, where it was dammed by ice, all the way down to Lake Traverse along the MN-SD border.  When the levee broke and the lake drained into the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, it raised sea levels by 3 to 9 feet and caused global cooling on a massive scale.

NOT HUNGRY.  Of all the weird things dogs eat, grapes shouldn’t be one of them. Grapes and raisins contain an as-yet-unidentified toxin that is harmful to dogs, so keep your four-legged hunting buddy away from the produce section and out of the Sun Maid box.

Stay Sharp!
