A massive storm is set to bring a wintry mix of snow, rain and strong winds to more than 20 states across the country this week.
Millions of residents in 22 states from coast-to-coast are under winter weather alerts, with at six of those states also under blizzard warnings. The storm — named Winter Storm Olive — may also bring record-high levels of snowfall to the upper midwest, where “this event could very well break top five snowfalls in the Twin Cities dating back to 1884,” according to the local National Weather Service.
The Twin Cities region may see up to two feet of snow, the NWS said.
“A major winter storm will affect a large portion of the country this week. Heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain is likely across the western and northern tier portions of the United States. Extreme impacts are likely, and historic snowfall is possible near Minneapolis, MN,” the NWS tweeted on Tuesday.

The dumbasses here closed school for 4” of snow last time, and they did it the night before, before the first flake fell. We’ve become a nation of pussies.

The same template played over and over every winter. Every storm is “historic” now.

Another reason for the 60% of people in the 18-64 group who participate in the labor force to think "Why the hell are we subsidizing the other 40%?"
I thought about that driving into work this morning and I'm 67!

But will we have what happened in Chicago in 1979, when after a major blizzard in mid-January 1979 the temperature never reached above freezing until LATE March 1979? That storm cost the re-election of one Mayor and was an economic disaster for that city.

Well, it’s been practically a record warm February. Guess global snowballs follow global warming.

Which, apparently, hasn’t happens since the late 1800’s according to the article. It was caused by cow flatulence then, so man made climate changes.
Blowing snow here it SE Oregon this morning.
