By 10pm, those 3" had multiplied to closer to 10" and we started to think the forecasts might be close after all. <br /><br />Sitting here the next evening, at 5pm with it STILL coming down and DH & the kids getting ready to shovel for the third time this storm I'm wondering if the forecasts were LOW! We didn't set anything up for official measurements, but we're definitely over a foot... and that's where the wind isn't blowing even taller drifts!Mama Housemousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045351625805531190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-67211911884929413842011-02-21T17:05:46.802-06:002011-02-21T17:05:46.802-06:00Dennis: 500 mb low over south central MN N IA
