It is supposedly -13 in North MPLS right now. Same deal. It feels cold, no doubt. But I was expecting worse.

I've obviously experienced these temps before, even played boot hockey in -20 weather. Maybe I'm just getting old and know what to expect, I dunno. Just went out for a smoke now, and kinda shrugged and thought, "Yep, it's cold. It sucks."

Oh yeah. Growing up this weather was not uncommon. Played many a hockey game and was on the slopes at dawn in this kind of weather. Spent much of my childhood winters with no feeling in my feet.

Just saw on the Tweeter: Antarctica is currently warmer than Mpls. :D

During the Frozen Era, yes, but as a Sotan you will appreciate the fact that they claim three championships during the Prefrozen Era.

Been looking for this forever. Enjoy Jean at his best.

If you develop a taste of it, this may be his masterpiece.

Overnight low today was -15F. Predicted high for Saturday, January 21 is 42, currently. And the models are predicting rain that day. That's a slight change in things.

Day-long snow here, much of which melted as it hit, leaving maybe 4 inches of white lead on the ground. Seemed too little for the snow blower, so I shoveled. Dam near killed myself.

Yeah, it might have been closer to 3 maybe. It just didn't meet the blower eye test. Totally kicked my arse though.

I don't judge on the depth of the snow, I look at the plow berm. That dictates all else.
 
What a crazy week of weather. Last Monday we had zero snow on the coast. Now we have 3 ft? Or so. Today has been as bad as I've ever seen it. DOT pulled plows off the road as they couldn't see. They posted 8 or 9 inches of snow on 95 at one point, thats unheard of here. Never seen so many businesses close, even gas stations/stores shut down.wal mart was open though.
