So while we got 17-22 inches of snow, that is on top of the additional 12-20 inches that was already on the ground, and it just keeps piling up with nowhere to put it. And it is a heck of a lot colder and windier here too, which adds to the stress it creates in dealing with it. The NWS post at Central Region Headquarters talked about this - where to put it all - 'cause it isn't going anywhere anytime soon, that's for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-23465746603611788972010-12-12T07:59:35.000-06:002010-12-12T07:59:35.000-06:00Puff up your plumery about this?

The people who live in the Cities are not a good example for how most Minnesotans react... Out in the county we were out doing our normal stuff on a Sat in December with just a little bit more clothing. <br>Lets see how you DC people do when the temp drops to -5 and you get 17 inches of snow at the same time. I bet you have more panic, more accidents, more deaths.... etc.Luke Knoreply@blogger.com
