Not sure how much we will get in any in the metro area. I guess if the storm lifts farther to the north, We might get rain and sleet...

I keep hearing that 16-20" is gonna be the norm.

Who wants to join me in a 4x4 trek around town?

I've got a 4 and 5 year old looking forward to building some snow forts.  If I angle the snowblower right, I should have a mammoth pile of snow in the front yard

should i bring my new tractor over ? we could build a hell of a fortress !

ETA my new four wheeler / plow is wider than the old one, more power than the old machine, heavier and scrapes better. so instead of my driveway being plowed and still having a layer of snow packed on it, it cleans up real nice now.

i should leave some logs from tomorrows job in the back of the F350 for winter weight

Got a fair amount here in Duluth.  I haven't been out yet to see how much though.  I'm hoping it piles on though to get a good base for cross country skiing.

Just looked out my front door, looks like we got around 6-8" in the Howard Lake area...then again with the wind, kind of hard to tell as it tends to shift...

In an hour or two when I'm sufficently coherent I'll blow out the drive, that'll give me a way better idea of how much we got.

Haven't gotten any snow up here yet, just the wind. Giant's Ridge area.

About 9" here in Minneapolis, I snow blowed it into the alley for the city to plow, then I realized It was like 4 feet deep out back of my house clogging the whole alley... Whoops, the idiot neighbor three houses down in a Honda with super small tires , revved it up and gunned it for the pile. STUCK bad. I pushed him and he went back pretty easy. Then he gunned it and tried it again. Stuck really bad. I closed my sliding gate with 7 foot privacy fence and left him. All his Mexican buds are still out there trying to get him out. i got a front row seat... oh well, off to go work on Hot Rods in the garage!! I'm ready for the Kegger stat!!

I measure 10" in the front yard to include the snow we already had. If we're gonna get another 10" here in Princeton before tomorrow, it better get busy.

You guys have a good Christmas.
