Pressroom Podcast: Embracing winter in the Northland

Last week when we recorded this episode, the Northland was experiencing continuous days of temps well into the negative teens. Add the windchill to that and it was around 30 below outside. But that didn't stop this week's guest from enjoying winter activities in the snow.

Because of his job, Duluth News Tribune photographer Clint Austin is regularly outside taking photos for the newspaper. But even before he gets to the newsroom, he is outside on his fat bike, or making snow at Chester Park.

Hear what Clint has to say about making the most of living in Duluth and the Northland during the winter. He also shares some tips on the best clothing and how to take the best winter photos.

What we are into this week: The newest Star Wars movie “Rogue One” , the ABC TV show “Designated Survivor” , top ten lists (of which we will be coming out with our own for 2016 next week on the podcast) and the Amazon original series “Transparent.”

What is your favorite part of winter in the Northland? Do you have any tips on how to enjoy the cold and snow for those who don't especially like it? Let us know at podcast@duluthnews.com
