Next edition Feb 20th –Feb 26th

Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news. A quick reminder to check out my blog ;( (DonnellyMinn.blogspot.com). I have more and updated news from the area on it.


It was another stormy weekend with difficult travel conditions in the area esp. on Sun and Mon. Thankfully the forecast calls for some milder weather in the near future. A huge thank you to my neighbors for all the times they have blown out my driveway this winter it has been greatly appreciated.
