Looks like a White Christmas for you guys. Enjoy & Stay Safe! Find out the timing and get off those roads.

"8-12" MSP metro to Duluth, with up to 15" in some towns. Blizzard conditions & dangerous "flash freeze" scenario shaping up. Winter is coming all at once, in 12-18 hours of concentrated fury during PM hours today. Wow."

When there is cold and snow, you can count on me.


Yeah, still got snow on ground from last weeks storm (7"). It's a pretty much a record for this area near the coast. 7 days with snow on the ground in December. Love it.


You just reminded me to post pics. Thanks!


Enjoy your Holiday and weather.


A look at the radar past 4 hrs and the temps. It's in the single digits with snow in Western MN right now.


Note those icons with the arrows. That's Blizzard conditions and strong winds. It's coming

I prefer snow on the ground for Christmas. I am roughly 40 years old and wouldn't be able to guess how many Christmases (or Christmas Eves) actually had snow coming down at the time.


Christmas Eve was always the bigger day of the two for my family, or at least it was in my view.

It's coming - it's here. Wind & snow - news said it wouldn't get bad til around 4p but it arrived early. I have a new snow blower - in the box I kept hearing the metro would only get about 2" - I can blow 2" away (full of hot air don't ya know). Time to get movin and put it together.

<Rub it in> Next year at this time I will be on the coast in Wilmington, NC. No~More~Blizzards!! I don't really mind them during early winter - late winter it gets old.

Maybe I'll use the snow blower to blow sand.

Kavalier - Xmas eve was always our big celebration time. Xmas day was always the day to slack off.

Everybody have a good one.

I am so jealous of you Minnesota people. I wish for a white Christmas every year and it never happens. I think in the past 30+ years of living in the Pacific Northwest we have had a White Christmas once and possibly twice. Even where I grew up in Western PA is getting a winter storm. Not unusual at all. But we should of been home for the holidays but because of the covid crap we can't. Glad we didn't buy tickets when it was getting started back in March. One time years ago I did go home for Christmas started to snow when I got there and di not stop the entire week I was home, I shoveled the driveway for my mom the old fashioned way. ( they had a snow blower).


Stay safe and all that. Hope everyone has a great holiday.

This reminds me of one Christmas we didn't have a speck of snow: I have a step sister in San Diego that came one year. She had visions of snow up to the roofs - she was so excited. Well, she gets here and nothing. Her face just dropped. It really was a bummer - I wanted snow so bad for her. I have to say our first snows are just magical.

Haven't seen any lightening but the news guy just said it's -25 wind chill We dropped 50 degrees in a very short time yesterday/last night. The wind was/is still wild.

35W - one of our main freeway systems- is glare ice. Merry Christmas!

Did I mention next year I won't have to deal with this anymore? <Wait and see if next year Covid's nastier big brother doesn't show up and we'll all be locked in our homes and I will be stuck here again.>
