Happy #Wednesday morning from the #Northland!
The #blizzard came late last evening, and it stuck around all night.
A view from #Superior this morning, and it is worse in other parts of the #TwinPorts and northeast #Minnesota.
Case in point, the #NorthShore is closed off for now.
NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR FEBRUARY 18, 2026:
A strong #winter #storm system will bring wet, heavy #snowfall to most of the Northland Tuesday night and Wednesday, with a mix of #precipitation south of Highway 2 becoming all snow.
#Winds will be very strong overnight with #gusts of 40 to 60 mph, creating #blizzard conditions at times.
The #NorthShore will see the highest #snowfall totals of 16 to 24+ inches.

'It's just a good day for the North Shore': CBN parents celebrate as province plans to rebuild school
Conception Bay North parents are celebrating the news that the province intends on rebuilding a school lost to a massive wildfire that swept through the region last summer.

The issue with the 61st Ave connection to Burke-Gilman that it's _very_ steep. Fixing it is on Kenmore's agenda, with funding tied to Sound Transit 3's RapidRide construction starting this year. (See https://www.kenmorewa.gov/our-city/projects/current-projects/sr-522-west-segment-b-improvements-57th-to-61st-avenues for a light overview.) But obviously, that doesn't help for this closure.
King County could suspend parking on 175th and use that for a walking detour, but there's no paved connection from that section of parking to 61st Ave NE, and setting up a temporary barriered area in the road would create a dangerous two-way single-traffic-lane next to a park popular with children.
So. Closure. Plan accordingly.

Burke-Gilman is going to be closed for up to five days in Kenmore between 61st Ave NE and 65th Ave NE starting February 16th. It's probably hillside reinforcement.
People on bikes can detour onto 175th, which runs in parallel. It's low-traffic, but what traffic is there includes heavy industrial from the cement plant.
Since there are no sidewalks on 175th - at all - people on foot are advised to go uphill to Bothell Way. Despite some business driveways, that length of sidewalk is perfectly reasonable, and next to a bus lane rather than full traffic. However, the climb up from 61st is very steep and is _NOT_ ADA-compliant.
