Send Al Gore a note and ask him to explain this winter!
Stay warm!

Hi,
********************, I live right on the Mississippi River separating Mpls. and St. Paul , on the St. Paul side. I haven't been able to see the other side since about 3pm cause the snow is falling/blowing so hard (forecast 8" by morning), and we're forecast to have snow all week.
But, I do have to admit that the worse winters I ever spent were several of the ones I went through in Chicago. I remember Jan. 10 in 1982, the ambient temp on Michigan Ave. was -26°F. I had to go 5 blocks north to Superior Street (Walgreens) and the Windchill was -84°F. The only part of me exposed was my eyes (Storm Coat, Balaclava, gloves, etc). When I got to Walgreens, my eyes felt like they were frozen... I took a Cab back...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Looks like we got 5" overnight. About 7pm there was a huge flash of lightning and then it started snowing like a mother. It looked like 3 of the 5" fell before 9pm.
But I'm happy we're getting another blast of winter. My buddies and I are leaving on Wed for 4 days of golf in Temecula, CA (50 mi ne of SD). Can't wait.

Temecula should have very nice days next week Bring nighttime clothes as it gets cool there at night.
Have a great time!

It's still snowing here and it's forecasted to stop sometime on Tuesday.
Knee deep so far...

We got dumped on last night and I went out to a party any how. All was good until we hitched a ride home with a friend who drives a 545i BMW. I'm pretty sure we pushed the car half way home. I've never seen a car that bad in the snow, pretty much didn't move.
Ohh well, made it home without any serious incident.

Certainly nothing like what you guys are experiencing, but I'm headed out to shovel this "light rain" right now. We're expecting some more "light rain" this evening.
In my next life, I'm coming back as a weatherman. In what other profession can you be consistently wrong, with no apologies, and no consequences?
