CLOQUET — I don't think any of us needed Punxsutawney Phil to tell us we have six more weeks of winter headed our way. The sub-zero temperatures over the last week sent that message loud and clear.
I'm exited they're subsiding so I can get outside more with my family to enjoy the snow!
I've got a lot of news for you this week, so let's get to it:
