JJP,
They predicted 10-12 inches in the MPLS area, and unfortunately the weather casters got paid. We got just about that, and we're supposed to get another couple of inches today. When it's all said and done though, I'll take this **** over the sub-zero weather anyday. Because when we get these blizzards, we get them when it's in the 20s-30s. We just got out of a 3 week cold snap that gave us sub zero temps everyday. Snow will go away after a few days... that cold stuff never seems to go away when it comes.

this may have been the clincher for a return trip to Ft. Lauderdale next w/e for the FOY. Hear that Antitrust?

I'll let you know for sure Wed night. Only way we don't come is if we get pounded with work at the office.

We got pounded again. Last night I was on 53 going West from Wooddale and it was RIDICULOUS. There was about 5 inches ON THE HIGHWAY, they didn't even have one lane plowed. Saw about four cars either GO INTO a rail or into another car.....

Of course you had a good reason to be out on the roads, right?
Some kind of emergency maybe?

Snowed in? No. More like iced in. 1/4 inch on everything and now it's sleeting like hell won't have it. Here in the 616 holland Michigan. Irishmandan lives alittle north of me where it's going to be snowing with 30 mph winds all day long.

When we got there is was perfect out, when we got knocked out (I was first knocked out when some 'setted' my top pair top kicker) there was 8 inches on the ground, and 5 INCHES on 53. I have seen nothing like it on the highway before....even with the Envoy I was getting taken.

I just tried shoveling this crap and it was BRUTAL, heart is going a mile a minute right now

I lost my power yesterday at noon, just got it back a few minutes ago. I live 150 miles southwest of chicago, we had an inch of ice and little bit of snow.

that's a benefit of being n. of the border. Had a friend pick me up on snow mobile and off to the bars we went.
