Finally! There is supposed to be a snowstorm moving through southern Minnesota(Rochester & Eau Claire are to be hit hardest) Wednesday night & through Thursday. I have classes on M, W, & F, so I would have appreciated it on one of those days, but I guess I will take what I can get.
The only down side is that I won't be able to go to the HS, if they are even open. I have a feeling they will be closed.


Keep your fingers crossed that we get our snowstorm!

I promise not to hog all of the snow, but I would be worried about Mackenzie! She might just hog it all!

I agree - there better be TONS of snow and VERY cold weather, or I'm going to be very mad at mother nature!
Or the weather man at least

Well you know in Wisconsin they name the snow storms-this one coming later tonite is "Snowstorm Christine" Its only the 3rd biggie this season. The predictor map for my area is saying 11 inches with blizzard conditions this time tomorrow!!! So I did a bunch of errands today.
I just have to get in Neils' head to drive the truck to work tomorrow instead of the new car. Any suggestions other than hiding the car keys??? I want boots and a hat in the truck too-I guess I'll have to put them there. Plus he usually goes to the gym on Thursday nites-I guess hide the gym bag too!!

Maybe you could just glue his feet to the floor in your house somewhere?
That's the only suggestion I have.


We are supposed to get 2 inches tonight(after 10pm) & then another 5-7" by tomorrow night. There are supposed to be 15-25 mph winds. On Friday, there is supposed to be 20-30 mph winds!

I got my test finished today, so if it bad out Friday morning, I can skip class. Bri(lil sis) doesn't have class Friday or Monday(she's a freshman in high school). She's hoping for a snow day tomorrow so that they have a 5 day weekend. That would be nice(not for me-she gets annoying
).

If I remember my geography correctly, you might not get as much snow. They said in MN that the area that was going to be hardest hit was the Rochester area. I don't think you will get 11 inches, but you might want to expect 7 inches or so. I dont' know for sure about your area, but you might want to get off here & go shopping!

Not too much yet only about two inches they cancelled classes in most school districts early this am. DH said it was a bit slippery this am going to work-he did take the truck and I put a hat and boots inside!! We got plenty of gas for the snowblower too. This is a dry snow due to the temperature and that's why it will blow around so easy!!

You must've taken all of the snow! It is snowing here, but it is a pretty light snow. It is blowing a ton, though. School was 2 hrs for lil sis. Fairmont & Blue Earth closed, but no, our stupid school had to go on!
I don't think I will be able to go to classes tomorrow morning. I haven't though up a good reason yet, but I think the snow is going to stop me. I have one class that I show up, sign in, & leave. I don't have anything to do. It isn't wortht eh hour round trip drive through snow & blowing snow for that.

My lil sis is a 6th grade, our neighbor is in 10th grade, & the foreign exchange student that is living with my neighbor is in 12th grade. We are the only ones with a 4WD truck, so I am in charge of getting all three of them home. Let me think about this...6 seat on the crew cab truck...me, two dogs(50 & 80 lbs), Kai, Bri, & Ciara....get's a little cozy!


Mackenzie, did you get to work? Now that I am thinking about your work, I don't remember seeing anything about the 2nd interview @ Maurices. How did that go?
