@buzd504 - one piece of advice from a northener living in the south who has seen the locals try and drive in that stuff: stay off the roads if you can.

JIC offers great advice. If you aren't used to driving on the white stuff, then don't even try it. If you don't crash, the other drivers may crash into you. People crash into power poles which takes out power which only makes things worse. Hunker down and "enjoy" this historic weather event for the area.

It’s a good thing that he hasn’t been sheared since September. Still snowing btw.

P.S. Take it slow if you go out and shovel. Heart attack rates grow exponentially from doing such.

Fire that egg up! How many times are you going to have this opportunity?

Hmm, that is an excellent point.

Shovel? Doesn't it all just melt eventually?

It does melt, and then potentially re-freezes into black ice that will take your life in a friggin heartbeat.

I would say “welcome”, but appears you’re just borrowing our weather.

Better to shovel often, before it gets too thick. Shoveling 3" twice is infinitely easier than shoveling 6". Also, you probably want a 1" layer of snow on top, better traction on snow than ice. If you have standing water when it starts to hit dusk, get the broom or squeegee out before it freezes.

It rained first, so I think we already have that. It should be in the 40s by the weekend. It's not like they're taking care of the streets, so I'm not going anywhere.

And before you do write 2025 on that dome so you’ll have a picture as proof when your grandkids don’t believe you!

Great idea, Ron!

That's going to make some cities in the south very uncomfortable.

I had to push the old Boxer outside to make yellow snow.

God is climatizing you guys for the invasion of the North.

^^ this. Egging in the snow is amazing.

ColbyLang · January 21

Y’all can keep this lol

Same. We got about 4". Not planning to go anywhere for 2 days.

Someone got mad at me for cancelling their kid's procedure. They have a 2hr drive, one way. I could not get through to them that they shouldn't be on the road for 20 mins, let alone 4 hrs.

That is more snow than we've had in Minnesota all winter so far.

OhioEgger · January 21

When I lived in NYC long ago, we had a mayor named John Lindsey. When there was a big snowfall one winter, the city did a really horrible job of plowing the streets, and many neighborhoods were completely cut off. When reporters gave the mayor a hard time about his seeming lack of concern, his reply was classic: "God put it there, and God will take it away."

And yes, he was a one-term mayor.
