Yes, that storm was definitely "one for the books". In my neighborhood (Lake Como), visibility was down to four hundred yards. I was glad to be observing the storm from my house.
I love snowy days❤❤
True Minnesooootan talking, lol
Gotta love Minnesota👍
A why was that guy wearing downhill skiis?
Was he wearing shorts?
Going for the shock reactions to add to his crazy day as it is.
dear kids, spend less money on starbucks, and more on winter tires. sincerely, and older dude.
That was a fun storm because the temps werent very cold....fun walking my dog in it
Have they heard something about the winter tires?
That would be too smart for us :) Just kidding, yes, many have snow tires and / or all-wheel drive, but they are expensive, and the snow plowing / salting is so good here that people are spoiled and assume they can drive all the time, any time, at the usual speed. And this is certainly the case after the snow plows get out - but _not_ in the middle of the snow storm.
"In a few years, children just aren't going to know what snow is. Snowfall will just be a very rare & exciting event"...Dr. David Viner, Sr. research scientist at the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia. March 20, 2000. The Independant, a climate science newspaper ,repeated the claim in the year 2000. OOOPS!
Frankie MacDonald, you just may have some competition online
This is amazing.
A few weeks later Minnesota receives toasty late spring temperatures (if I'm correct).
That was a fun storm to drive in . . . Fact, my Subaru is awesome in the snow !
i don't think snow was the problem for most people based on that plow truck pulling the van. there must have been a nice smooth layer of ice under that snow cuz that plow truck was struggling in a little bit of snow even when he wasn't tugging on the van, and then the van was sliding all over the place. i love my pickup and the lady has some nice blizzaks on hers car but neither are a match for ice haha.
No matter how much it snows in mpls it seems to go away fast down there
So glad our family moved to South Florida.
Me also, your family is nuts.
The Grand Solar MINIMUM
This is why I want to move here.
That's definitely me as a mailman
ice age coming. get ready.
Ella that sings Elvis songs at 3 years of age says to get ready before she starts singing.

BUT Minnesotans Love winter had many tell me they do until they have to drive in it like this storm now here in Iowa we hate winter and will gladly send all our winter weather to you fine folks in MN . THINK GLOBE WARMING WHILE YOUR FREEZING YOUR BUTTS OFF .
