Frozen Sunrise Lake Minnetonka

Lee Odden

TopRank Agency News

The great thing about winter in Minnesota when you’re in a computer/indoors intensive profession, is that there aren’t as many distractions to go outside. Compared to all the snow and ice, back link analysis and code optimization seems pretty appealing.

I’m not sure how many of our readers are in warm climates, but I thought I’d share a few chilly Minnesota photos from today:

Frozen Morning on Lake Minnetonka
Lake Minnetonka on the way into the office in the am. I really shouldn’t be taking pictures and driving at the same time. 🙂

Ice Houses on Lake Minnetonka
The two ice fishing houses on the lake outside our office. Besides the satellite TV, they’re probably outfitted with an easy chair, refrigerator, card table, hot plate and wireless internet. Oh, and probably a small fishing rod – you never can tell.

    Love the fact that it has a satellite dish mounted on the roof. I suppose they have a generator inside for power (unless they’re using solar panels). I wonder if perhaps the satellite dish is for internet connection and they are blogging and ice fishing at the same time.

    Yea, I love that dish. It make ice fishing look a bit more appealing.

    Ah yes this reminds me of home. My wife and I used to live in La Crescent, MN before moving to AZ. Miss this a bit. Though I don’t miss shoveling it.

    I’m in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin right now and the wind here is so bitter! It’s bad enough to be cold – but with the wind it’s so much worse. It’s no wonder Wisconsin people are such avid football fans: they all stay inside practically all winter watching football on TV (unless they’ve had a couple brewskies and dare to take themselves outside).

    I found this looking for ice fishing information. I must work just a little bit east of you and see the same thing every day I drive by!

    The lakes are a nice drive in any season.

    I love the fish houses, especially the one with the satellite. I can’t get dish service at my house, because of the tree line. Should we pray for cold weather all year and move on the ice then? Sorry, I’m half Norwegian.

    […] of year, most notably how I wish there were boats on the lake across from the office rather than ice houses, and that instead of building links daily, I was hitting the links […]
