Turning your kids into rock stars, chasing the northern lights and exploring Minnesota. I dig music, guitars, ukulele, Prince, and stargazing.

Believe it or not, I missed the best and strongest part of it last night!
These were the last two pics before my phone died from the cold and wouldn't charge up fast enough to take anymore 😭 but it got way crazier!
If it weren't cloudy in MN tonight, we'd see it again! 🥲 Let's not talk abt it

Things are getting better! It's on camera now north of metro.
It's gonna get stronger!
Brutal, dangerous temps 🥶 So, if you're adventuring out MUST be prepared!
Stopping at McDs for snack, wifi and to pop some hand warmers in the boots.
The evening has only just begun.

Clouds are north now. Should clear by 9-10pm. But getting even an hour outside the metro should be good if she blows up tonight. Serious potential. We gotta watch it in the coming hours. The night is young.

Trump's own fed prosecutors charging agents with violent felonies? Within the last month? I guess they don't have immunity.

It means you're on the good side. Stay strong. This will have the opposite effect the bad guys are hoping for. We are with you.

Our goal is frostbite for them all.
