More Snow in the Twin Cities

[MineralMan]

Feh! Looks like an ugly travel day in many places around the country. Put on your patience hat and settle in. There are gonna be delays on the roads and at the airports today.

Me? I'm heading out the door to do my second round of snow removal this winter. Did I say Feh, already?

1. Lots up here in North Dakota too

Took over an hour to shovel and that’s with the neighbor coming to help with the snow blower. At least I don’t have to get on the treadmill today.

3. More there than here, I think.

We had a lot of sleet last night, so there is ice on the car windows. It scraped off OK, but I'm still going to have to run the car for a while to melt it off with the defroster.

After a break, I'll go out and fire up the snowblower. I shoveled the house walks and porches already, though. But, this 74 year old many needs about 15 or 20 minutes rest before going out and doing the rest.

2. At least snow is pretty.

Here in NE Ohio we have had rain all day long so far. Which has created lots of mud for my dog to track into the house.

4. Mud, snow. It's all just weather, isn't it?

Oh, well.

6. Thanks for the local weather report.

It's good to see someone filling the void left by our notorious PPRed reporter.

8. I have no idea who you are talking about.

The weather is of interest, sometimes. Right now, it's making national news. People returning from Thanksgiving week trips are having major problems getting home.

But, I still don't know who you're talking about, nor why you bothered to comment in this innocuous thread. Perhaps a new hobby would be a good thing.

11. Uh-huh

7. Oh, Fey! Here in Buffalo, it's freezing rain

We treaded carefully outside and put rock salt on the porch and sidewalk, however it just keeps refreezing. It's a good day for me to stay inside and deep clean the house.


Stay safe and warm, MM.

9. Great idea! Stay inside and do something there.

I have to make a supermarket run, though. I'm sure the arterial streets are OK around here. The local jurisdictions get right on snow removal. Voters insist.

10. Stay warm and safe my friend.

I'm sitting in my truck at a truck stop just south of Portland, OR, waiting to deliver my load in Portland tomorrow, lots of snow on the ground, cloudy, cold as hell outside, but I'm as snug as a bug in a rug.

13. Rest well!

14. no snow here, yet

Forecast is for a possible "up to 1 inch accumulation" overnight.

My travel plans are to walk about 200 yards through the woods to eat with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. No traffic problems anticipated, although the rabbits might have a different point of view.

15. 1" of accumulation is just pretty snow.

After brushing my car off, I did some shopping and then ran it through a touch-free carwash to get the ice and the rest of the snow off the car. Now it looks like it was in the garage, and there's no more snow expected for a few days.
