    Time get out those subies out of the garage for some fun.....

    Winter storm watch in effect from Friday evening through sunday afternoon, The NWS in the twin cities/chanhassen has issued a winter storm watch, which is in effect from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Significant snowfall is expected over central Minnesota and western wisconsin during this weekend. The snow is anticipated to begin by late afternoon into early evening on Friday, becoming heavy at times by mid evening into overnight. The precipitation may briefly transition to sleet, though primarily snow is expected. Accumulations by Saturday morning are anticipated to be four to seven inches. There may be a brief respite in the snowfall during the day saturday, before moderate to heavy snow resumes during Saturday night. Snow will last into the day Sunday with an additional four to eight inches possible. Blowing snow may also occur during this time. Total weekend accumulations of eight or more inches are becoming more likely, with a foot or more possible over west central wisconsin and east central Minnesota, including the twin cities. A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulations that may impact travel. This includes along i-94 and i-35, as well as in and around the twin cities metro area. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.


    It's a love/hate thing for me.....I love snow:), but really want summer back!!:emo:

    I could go for a real winter storm. It is a bit depressing knowing that it'll just melt and make a slushy mess right away though...

    When it snowed last time, a co worker and I were going to go outside behind the building and make a snowman behind the gate separating the "garden area" from the street

    but of course, at work, our breaks are not long enough .. it was a funny idea though .. poor snowman trying to get out .. :laugh:
