It changed from a winter storm watch to a warning. Lots of snow south of St. Cloud basicly. If you plot the lines they talk about in there, Cottage Grove is gonna get nailed.
I'll be awake until about 2 or 3 am, it's FRIDAY night man! Midnight donuts anyone? Nothing has started downtown yet but we'll see, still an hour and a half of work before I can even think about the rest of the night. I hate this job. :roll: I thought i saw some flakes earlier but that was just wishful thinking
DING DING DING!!!! we have a winner. this is gonna be awesome. remember you need momentum to breech snow banks. foot on go pedal or u get stuck hehehe.... :biggrin:
Unless of course the other side of the snow bank is snow deeper than your car's clearance.......:roll:
There is a few inches on the ground in Cottage Grove at 11:30pm, I haven't looked out side in a while, but it was snowing a bit ago.
we got nothin' hear in mound. That and the jeep isnt any fun because there is no chance of getting it stuck with the new lift and BGF A/T ko's...
yeah...I've had two of 'em now and I still dont understand... Heh. Actually, the leather interior, V8, 4x4, and all the cargo room is really great. If only I had the money to grab an sti too...
Well snow is very hard to predict because it doesn't echo right with the radar. You would think, though, that they would have known it was mostly going to be rain because we know rain echoes just fine on the radar! I think tonight it will blow over too
9:48am, still no storm! the weather person must love their job! always screwing up and doesnt' get fired!
unfortunately weather is always unpredictable...it can always shift, but at least we are prepared for the worst...
Same story in Saint Paul. Raining ice woke me up last night, and it's "lightly" snowing right now. Hope they where right when they predicted the worst was coming on Saturday night...
It's snowing like a mofo here in plymouth too .. I had to come back inside since I was working on my stereo - now I gotta move into the garage .. but oh wait, the rest of the stereo is still in the crappy mazda? oh no .. guess I'm going to be a snowman today
