I feel sorry for all the cops in the Twin Cities, Minnesota today
Thanks to all that evil snow, not one speeding ticket could have been issued.

2. Now you know me better than that, I never get any!
Oh, you mean snow... depending on which news site, between 3, 4, or 5 inches.

Let's go for 5". It won't make the weatherman look bad. :D

3. gonna be 10-12 inches, i;ll bet...
...weather wizards were way off in their earlier estimates.
freeways a nightmare; now people trying to make up their own route home through neighborhoods.
came at the wrong time, too.
it really really started to fall about 2-3 p.m. and it's still falling.
trying to decide whether to attempt to make it to a meeting.

the MnDOT traffic site has at least part of every freeway on "red."
which in plain English means "very f***d up."

4. What part of the cities are you in?
I was supposed to come down today but postponed it because of the storm. Will try again tomorrow.

8. south-southwest. I494 would be my normal route home.
it looks like that stretch may have gotten the worst of it.
I have to go drive it now and I;ll post when i get home....provided i get home.
it does seem to be tapering off but so many cars crawling along have left a nasty coating of ice....
wish me luck...
