I haven't told them yet. Their hero is Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. They won't do any homework if they think a storm is brewing. |

As soon as we got a dusting, they were at the top of the hill in our front yard with sleds. Over anxious they are, for some serious snow. |

My daughter is soooo not impressed that our storm came on a WEEKEND! She considers it a waste of a perfectly good snow day. Keep us posted on what's brewing, R2.

Does that ever bring back memories. The best snow storms are the ones that start late Sunday night, so you wake up Monday morning to a snow day. Better than Christmas.

We got hit with freezing rain and sleet and it's been snowing for hours. Not sure how much we will end up with but I am ready. |

89th is supposed to be in Pittsburgh today for his first Steelers game. The snow is supposed to start right as the game ends. I hope he can make the 4-hour drive home. He will be on my mind all day, for several reasons. |

On the weather service it gives local reports, including from law enforcement. There are several that say things like this:
Why do people do this? It was well publicized how bad this storm would be. |

Hard to show the depth of the snow. Guessing 14". Could be more. |

Nice photos! Too damn windy here to even think abut going outside. Power failed around 5:30 and was restored about 10:45. Going to hunker down and play me some WoW! (and some piano and drums and guitar maybe) |

Snow in Paris too! A few days ago, I was feeling sorry for the French. Paris had been brought to a standstill by a snowstorm. Businesses were closed; transportation had ground to a halt; travelers were stranded; the Eiffel Tower was shut down. A familiar story. But then I read this:
Four inches?! Here in Minnesota, we refer to that as "snow flurries." Four inches is a light dusting that we send our womenfolk out to shovel. For a great city to be brought to its knees by a mere four inches of snow bespeaks a lack of character. On the other hand, what we have experienced in Minnesota today--well, to paraphrase Crocodile Dundee, this is a snowstorm. ... Tonight the temperature is expected to get down to seven below, with a high tomorrow of four, followed by a low Sunday night of -13. That's Fahrenheit, for our French friends. But by morning, the city will be functioning again. If the Parisians want to find out how it's done, they should send a delegation to Minneapolis! =-=-=-=-=-= I know, it's snarky, but I couldn't resist.
