The weather has been pretty terrible the whole week and last night it just let loose. It started off with freezing rain and then turned into snow around 10PM. For a while there it was a blizzard from the snow and 30+mph winds. Anyway, the snow finally stopped today but the winds haven't died down at all. I'd say we got about 4-5 inches of snow total, but the winds make it seem like 2 feet in some areas.

I went out to start my car for work and had trouble pinpointing where it was.

I think it's here

Hmm....maybe not?

Took me about 30 minutes to get the car dug out. Once I got the snow off I had to scrap all the ice off the windows from the damn rain :|

Oh well, just another winter in Minnesota :p

<< damn, try driving the way it is. >>


I seriously thought about it since I didn't want to be late for work.

I would have had to pull an Ace Ventura and stick my head out the window though. It's too damn cold for that.

What's wrong with you! Somebody take his Minnesota license away! When I was your age, my father made me chip open the frozen doors with my finger nails and then made me drive him to work with only a 3"x3" defrosted area to see out of. It's a Minnesota way of life!

LOL

Aceman=old fart!:D

Let me guess, before you could drive you had to walk uphill both ways, in nothing but your loin cloth while watching out for the all-to-often renegade buffalo :D:p

In my 20 years of being a Minnesotan I've never had to dig to find a car before. The wind was just unbearable and made everything so much worse. Would I ever leave Minnesota? Probably not. Just too pretty up here.....sometimes ;)

Too young to remember the Halloween Blizzard of 1991? We had 24-36" of snow and ice over a 24 hour period! With the wind it buried my car 2X over. (Of course it's not hard to do to a Fiero that at the highest sits 42" off the ground.)

Would I leave Minnesota? I can't answer that as I checkout of Minnesota and the damn Army keeps sending me back! This time my career advisor sent me up here 4 years ago. When I asked how long would I be in Minnesota he replied, "You're sentenced for 5 to life." The "warden" hasn't called me to set up a "parole" board yet so it's looking like life!:)

I remember trick-or-treating in the blizzard...I was 10 :D Didn't have to clean my parent's car off though. Just remember running through 12" of snow that seemed to have fallen in a hour.

haha, never heard living in Minnesota be compared to a prison sentence...but I suppose it'll suffice ;):)

Nice snow! :D Had that happen to me in chicago bout 3 years ago, I think there was 24-26 inches of snow in a little over a day. Made the last flight out of the city (back to school) before the airports shut down! :D

It started off with freezing rain and then turned into snow around 10PM. For a while there it was a blizzard from the snow and 30+mph winds


I was near cleveland last night and there were wind gusts of 90 mph, hurricane force. There was supposed to be 5-6 inches of lake effect snow, but it never came. Thank god, that would have been terrible! :Q

Its funny trying to walk in those kinds of winds, make you feel like you are walking slow-motion. :D
