Gees!.... you've got a LOT more snow than we do! Ground is bare here in a
few spots, the remainder is covered with only 1"-3".



Big flakes falling right now in the Twin Cities. Much snow on house roofs
and on the ground. Much light fluffy snow so far this year --- oh, and some
freezing rain under all of it, so it's still a little slick out there.


Depends on when you view this, of course, but at 3:15 PM CST, the view
from this live web-cam, aimed less than a mile from here, looked like a
blizzard:

Not sure where it states that it technically needs to be winter for snow
accumulation. :-)


Here's what the place looks like -- and there's more snow on the way!

Yes, but you're living where no human ever intended to live, Mike...

We had snow here in Virgina a few weeks ago, but by morning it was gone.
