Several threads going about it already, but hey...one more won't hurt. After all, this was one of the all timers...

Junior is going to school in U of M.

My wife keeps looking at the weather for up there.

He probably doesn't even notice the snow. He's in his little barracks all toasty warm and doesn't need to go shovel or drive or go anywhere.

Great vid.

Our road still hasn't been plowed.

Dang man, you ARE old!

;)

It's my alma mater as well.

I think we pulled about 20 inches in SE MN.

I did my driveway and my MIL's last night and I did mine again this morning. Now, after a little bourbon and a turkey pot pie (which my wife made for me) I'm off to do the MIL's again.

Dude, I'm 24 years old. I've been 24 for YEARS.

I can still see grass poking through the top of the snow in some areas.

However, there is a nice 2 foot drift in the driveway.

It appears to have stopped snowing.

I was planning on busting out the snowblower today, I might not. But putting down some Woodford... There's a good idea.

We got right around 17 inches. Here's a couple pics to help you all enjoy your weather. I blew the driveway out 4 times. Each time it was drifted to about 3 foot deep.

Our houses sit considerably higher than the road so its hard to tell just how big this drift is, but I'm six foot tall and I can't see over it when I stand next to it. This is the house across the street from me.

We also lost part of the top of the Metrodome. No football today.
