W'ere too far north. It is sunny and clear here temp 32.

Puzzle answers:
(1) The Northwest Angle.
This is a piece of Minnesota that is cut off from the US. It is
a peninsula that juts into the Lake of the Woods in Ontario. You have
to drive north in Manitoba and then turn south to get into the Angle.

(2) Point Roberts, Washington
This is the south part of a peninsula that juts into Boundary
Bay south of Vancouver. You have to cross the border at Blaine, Wash.
and drive north through British Columbia and then west and then south
to get there. It is about 30 miles, as I recall, by road and school
busses do it twice a day.


How 'bout Victoria BC to Bellingham WA?
Also ISTM that there is a Canadian town south of Eastport ME.
