    I had 12 inches at my house here in SE Nebraska. Total blizzard conditions once you get outside of town. Sounds like all of Omaha is shut down. I needed to go to Cabela’s up there today and couldn’t get there because all highways in and out of Lincoln were closed. I called Cabela’s to check their hours today and they were closed for the day.

    At about 7″ so far in St Cloud, still coming down. Gets heavy at times, but mostly a steady drop, moderate winds.

    I’ve got the worse commute.

    1.5 miles from office to driveway. Sometimes I even have to stop at a stop light.

    In the last half hour, I saw 4 vehicles slide through the stop sign in front of my house and one made it all the way into the ditch in front of my house,slow down out there and be carefull out there.

    If you want to watch some close calls sometime find a busy four way intersection with stop lights during a snow storm with slippery roads. Find a good vantage point and sit back and count all the close calls it makes for some good entertainment.

    We closed Gander in Duluth at 5PM today. 40+ mph winds and gusting to 60+! Forcast for upwards of 20 inches or more total! Winds are blowing off a frozen lake superior! Hwy 61 is closed. Haven’t seen one like this in a long time! Kind of cool!

    We have about 8 inches in St Croix Beach. No wind.

    But my commute to the mailbox took an extra five minutes today. Very frustrating…no mail.

    Steve, I haven’t seen a 20″ down fall of snow since the ’70’s.

    I can’t tell how much we are getting in the NW corner of the cities. It’s blowing around so much, tough to tell.

    About 50 degrees and partly cloudy here in silicon valley. Just clean up the runways and get the roads plowed before Saturday so I can get home.

    big g- Can you see that the wifey can get out the driveway and point her towards the airport so I have a ride home?
