Blizzard

[bertine]

"How Much? Here is the latest model run, showing a band of 15-28" extending from the MSP meetro area into much of northern Wisconsin and the U.P. of Michigan. This band may still shift (slightly) over the next 12-24 hours, but again, I just don't see how we see anything less than a foot in the metro area. Frankly, as time goes on I'm starting to think final amounts may be closer to 2 feet. We'll see, but this has all the hallmarks of a major blizzard for much of the Upper Midwest, something we haven't seen for nearly 2 decades."

This sort of makes me excited, mostly because I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow.

I have three concerts in a 48-hour span. :-)

Must make beer & firewood run asap.

It seems like half my friends are having birthday or holiday parties this weekend, and I'm not sure I'm even going to be able to get out of my alley.

I'm hoping it's not too blizard-y in the morning because I would really like to go to Bodypump class. But other than that I've got plenty to keep me busy at home tomorrow.

I'm just pleased that the new liquor store on Lake and Grand opened - we can walk there if we have to!

Have you been there yet? I'm wondering what it's like.

[lonely-doll.livejournal.com]

I have! It's quite nice - kind on a mini-Surdyk's, with a cheese shop and everything!

I sure hope we miss all of it.

We missed the dump on Toronto and London on the other side. This morning's snow is peanuts to any of this.

Wishing you all the best. I hope it's just a "small" snow.

And to make you laugh, 1" of snow would cause Atlanta to shut down. Imagine what 2 feet of snow would do. We have like 10 snow plows for the state of Georgia. ;)

They don't even call a snow emergency unless it is over 3 inches. (that is when they make us move our cars to plow). What is bad about this snow isn't just the amount, it is the wind and the cold. The wind will cause it to blow around and stay in the air for a long time and the cold will mean that if you are driving in a rural area and you break down, your life is in danger.

oh wow.

I have a friend who moved from the tip of Texas to Mankato about two months ago. Oh man she won't be handling this well at all.

I laughed out loud at that even though it is mean. This is the second weekend in a row that we have had a snow storm. Last weekend was only about 5 inches.

Well she's up there because her husband is in grad school. I laughed when she told me she was going. Then I got all excited because of its Little House on the Prairie ties. Then came Little House on the Prairie jokes. THen came the "you know you're going to have your nose fall off due to frostbite, don't you?"

Yeah, it's a big change. I can only imagine.

Well I am staying home tomorrow. I am going to to put my holiday tree and other holiday decorations. :)
