Changing snow trends raise some wildlife concerns during Minnesota winters

Wet flakes kept flying during the first big snowfall in west-central Minnesota this past November.
It was the kind of heavy snow that lays down grasslands, and in this case, even cattails.

Mike Schoonveld: Some good news on contaminants in Great Lakes fish – imagine that

Shortly after salmon were stocked in the Great Lakes to take advantage of the overabundance of invasive alewives, health experts warned, “Don’t eat the fish. They are contaminated with DDT, Toxaphene, Chlordane and other chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides.”
