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.

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.
