Of course, for those of you in the Twin Cities area, you know that Paul Douglas can be a bit of an alarmist in his predictions.
Nonetheless. stay safe and stay warm!

2 hrs south they’re predicting only around 5” snow - with the bitter cold to follow... but, if the storm track goes a little bit south, we’ll get what they say you’re supposed to get.
“* Wind chills by Saturday night dip down to -20 to -35, extreme danger zone.”
Don’t think I’ll be complaining about the rain here in WA anymore. Stay warm.
Hey, it’s been pretty damn rough here too. Only got up to 71 degrees yesterday and got all the way down to 50 last night and I doubt it will break 70 today. Throw in a few clouds and it’s downright cold.
Much more of this global warming and we’re going to find ourselves in a new ice age!

Why doesn’t somebody DO something about this!?!?!?
They’re telling us up in Duluth that the brunt of it will be a bit south of here. Central Ws., like Hayward is going to really get dumped on.
Poor Sven Svengaard won’t be able to do outdoor weather reports for risk of getting buried in a snowdrift!!
biggest snowstorm for much of Minnesota since Halloween, 1991.
The Halloween storm was actually two storms back to back. I worked in a one story box back then with a door on the south side of the building. We literally had to dig a tunnel to get in when we returned after it was all over.
We’re doomed like Cancun!!!
“Cancun is hosting the U.N. conference on man-made climate change — amid record cold temperatures”

they say this thing is going to swing through indiana. i can’t find any solid forecast of how far south it may go. some say it swipes north of indy, others say it could get closer to the ohio river. amount of ice and snow i get is going to depend on where this beast tracks. i want a white christmas but i do not want to be iced in for days since we have tickets to the mannheim steamroller concert next week.
The kid was supposed to have a hockey game in Rochester tomorrow. We weren’t looking forward to the drive from the Cities even in good weather.
They already cancelled it last night.
The neighbors across the street are coming over for fondue. I have to stop by the liquor store on the way home. It should be a fun storm.
Hey up here in the UP of Michigan, we got that same warning. I am looking forward to it. Last night we had 5 inches of snow, when only 2 inches was predicted.
Have fun getting the snow taken care of in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. Yes we want the snow. minimum of 12 inches has be predicted with blizzard warnings. Yipee. Up here in the UP of Michigan we want lots of snow for the last 2 years we have not had the normal 300 + inches. Milwaukee had more snow 105 inches last year and the year before.
Where is the best place to rent a snowmobile on the range between Duluth and Grand Marais?
Cool.
Blizzard Warning for NW and NC Iowa now too. Every county in Iowa is under some kind of weather warning or advisory.
Tomorrow in Southern California, were expecting about 76 degrees, clear, sunny with a nice on-shore Pacific breeze!
