Seems this storm is tracking and holding on Destination: MSP.

I have to go somewhere Thursday but back Friday night. For some reason I picked ORD and not MSP as the layover this time. I just might duck the fringes of this one by that decision. (And with that I've cursed myself with a night at ORD. )

Ord is a real risk in winter. I always thought MSP was better, but I rarely use it.

Last three December connections via MSP I got delayed. That said, not a big ORD fan either, but it's either or in this case.

Meh, shouldn't affect me, really. 7 mile commute (non-peak hours) on Fri, and about a 3 mile trek to anywhere I care to go on Sat. Plus, my neighborhood seems to get plowed instantly.

I'm more concerned with the butt-arse cold that's coming. Ugh.

People are complaining on Nextdoor about snowplow drivers leaving snow at the bottom of their driveways. What, exactly, do they expect them to do? Get out and shovel everyone's driveways?

(These people also invariably use the wrong form of "there" ))

I saw that last year. This week, my hood is mad that plows come by after 10pm, and that people walk on their sidewalk before they can shovel it

This morning was insane. Twelve jackknifed or stuck trailers within five miles of my house. I tried to get my fiancée to work in St Paul and only made it to Century on the backroads (highways were shut down).

I was making a right turn at literally 2 mph (without any gas) and my car spun sideways and started going downhill (still sideways). There were parked cars on both sides of the road. I think I sprained by arse puckering so hard. That’s a ****ty helpless feeling having zero control. Luckily the packed snow and ice from previous storms along the parking zones acted like bowling bumpers and kept me four or five inches away from the other cars until the bottom of the hill.

Came to a complete stop, made sure my pants were still clean, turned to my fiancée and said, “F—-k this. No way. We’re going home.”

Got home to a stream of constant sirens for 20 minutes. Turned on the scanner and called up the highway cams. A semi slid down one of the hills next to my house on 694. They hit the trailer in front of them so hard the cab went UNDER the trailer and completely sheared the top of the cab off. Like, gone. I thought that guy was sure as **** dead. About 45 minutes later heard he made it out alive with bruises and cuts on his forearms, legs, and face. Also needed a change of pants I’m sure.

He was within inches of having his head crushed. Took 20 minutes with the jaws of life.

I'm really glad you are safe. The time this happened to me was outside Barre, VT 2 hours into a 5 hour hockey trip that wound up taking 9 hours. Our only way out was through. We actually slid backwards down a hill at one point. Scariest driving I have ever done.

Talking with one of my drivers yesterday, and he said a buddy texted him from Alexandria area (MN). 30 year veteran driver, had 13K lbs for his load...he pulled off the road. Said he felt the wind moving the vehicle enough to not feel safe. Having driven for 30 years...that says something.
