They are forecasting multiple days of wind 50 mph in western MN. That will make a mess!

well he’s not denying it??

Shoot, I was hoping he learned by now that the honeymoon is a preparty to the divorce, ugh, I spose I better give him a call or drive six hours to go see him and knock some sense into him lol.

The three days of 30 – 45 mph (gusts) in the metro are forecasted Th-Sat.

If we are lucky the snow will blow off the lakes … just have to figure out how to get over that 4′ drift at the landing.

Yep ib I believe it. South of town there is a 20 foot bank on the west side of the road. It was level across with snow. I drove my snowmobile up on top of it and stopped, got off it and there was a hole in the snow. You could look down the hole about 15 feet and see a car. The snow had made like a cavern over top of the car. Me and the snowmobile were standing on top. The snow pack was that hard. This was on Tuesday sfter the storm was over.

Sounds like a North Dakota storm!

Hope its wrong !

Its a rapidly barometric pressure dropping low pressure system. Bombocyclogenesis. Ever hear of “Too Tall Tom Schimanski from Fargo? 7 foot tall meteorologist. He used this term the first time I ever heard it while I was in college. He was intense and his forecasts were hilarious. Its likely because of him the snowfall map of 1-78 inches started.

Supposed to be taking our oldest to an appointment at Childrens Hospital on Thursday….may need to play that by ear.

Be safe! This could be a knockout blizzard if predictions are true.

Hope things are ok with the kiddo.

The latest models seem to show most of the snow in SE MN, and most of WI. Either way, this will pack a punch with the cold temps and wind blowing snow around. I’d expect basically no visibility anywhere in the region late Wednesday into Thursday.

We’ve got the 6′ tall blade mounted and ready on a tractor to bust through drifts around the building and in the driveway. Last night’s 2″ of fluff here coupled with maybe 10mph winds left notable drifts the full length of our 1200′ driveway. A fresh 8-10″ of powder will really stack up I’m sure.

Make sure you have gas for the generators, those trees are going to start snapping.

I should be careful what I ask for, but I’d rather have a nice 12″ at once then 1-2 inches daily that forces me out with the shovel every night. I also clear snow for 2 of my neighbors and getting rid of 2 inches takes twice as long as 8 inches.

2″ isn’t forcing me to do a damn thing

Routine check up for hearing tests and her hearing aid; all is good!

You will regret saying that with 40mph winds added to that.

Ah that’s great to hear. Just knowing what Children’s does always make my mind go to a bad place I guess. They are great people down there.

I hear you — BUT: 2 inches one day, 1 inch the next, and another 1.5 the next is almost 5 inches. If you wait til day 3 it’s already been compacted into the sidewalks with a layer of ice underneath. We have a lot of older folks as well as families with kids and dogs that walk in our neighborhood, so it’s common courtesy (and city code) to keep the sidewalks clear.

Probably! I don’t want the wind, but I’d rather have big snow than death by a thousand cuts.

That is what I’m seeing too. Wisconsin is going to take on the bullseye. Chicago will be a disaster zone.
