MN Storm No Travel Advised

[hercamore]

Well, we're in the midst of a 3 day winter storm. I think we've had about 6 winter storms since before Thanksgiving!

26 county no travel advisory out. Yikes.

Minus eleven tonight.

This is turning out to be a good old fashioned winter!

Who else is seeing a good amount of snow.

We're in south-central Wisconsin & are getting lots of snow this December too. As of yesterday, our totals for the season so far are around 30". The most recent storm dumped over 10" alone. Now it's gonna get very cold & windy. You, in MN, have it worse than we do IMO.

Spring can come anytime!!!!!!!!!!

I"m in South Central WI too.

I'm actually tired of it. I can't get to the YMCA because our State cannot get salt to salt the roads.
I don't understand why there is a salt shortage.
People need jobs, why doesn't this industry hire workers
and produce the salt. It is crazy, and very dangerous.

The town, city and village roads are like ice skating rinks. People pull out in front of you, and they can't get going because their tires are spinning. I almost had 3 accidents in just 2 blocks. I was only going 20 mph and people don't want to wait, they just pull out.

 

[hercamore]

wow, I was not aware of the salt shortage.

That is a dangerous problem.

I'll ask my DS if he know's why there's a shortage. He'a a ChemE with the State here.

Yes, I posted a couple weeks ago about being sick of the winter! It is possible Jan/Feb could be mild with little precip.

Yup - it's 3 here right now and we expect another foot of snow on top of the 2 feet we already have. ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

I am also in south central Wisconsin but I am loving all of the snow.

 

[Seahunt]

Well I think you all should just pack it up and head on down here to FL. Not to rub it in but to convince you, I just saw the Christmas Day forecast for us:

Christmas Day: Sunny and very warm. Highs near 80

Come on down!

I live just south of Lansing and I agree with the no salting of the road situation! WTH is that all about. Michigan screams about wearing seatbelts and now has passed a law where about everyone under 18 has to be in a car seat but then they don't do their part and keep the darn roads safe!!!

Sounds like y'all need to, speaking in Texan, "hunker down."

 

[hercamore]

Boston teaparty, my DD and her DH are moving to Abilene Dec 29.

They'll be out of the cold for awhile. I hope to visit them in Feb.

Yes...there are plenty of houses for sale in the Orlando area.

 

[ginna74]

I am hating this snow!! I guess I stayed in ca to long when I was in the Navy. I am missing it now lol

 

[klynn]

We live in Minnesota and left for Orlando on Wednesday. Sounds like we just got out in time! We will be here for 3 weeks. It was 80 today!!

 

[jacksonsmom]

I am tired of this winter already too.

I am in Central MN and we were suppose to head into the cities yesterday to visit MIL/FIL for Christmas. We postponed that because of the road conditions.
We will try again this Saturday. Hopefully Mother Nature calms down by then.

 

[golfgal]

We had DH's side over yesterday. Things wrapped up early because of the weather. Everyone made it home ok. They said the roads weren't too bad but I am sure they were worse later.

 

[SundancePass]

I am SO tired of winter!!!! Snow, snow, and more snow and then some more snow yesterday.....and -10 today! My gosh, doesn't Minnesota EVER warm up????? We live West of Minneapolis...and I am truly hating winter already!

My DH and I are going to Orlando 1/9 and looking for a home for 2 days before we check into our Resort hotel.

I'm in Lansing, too. Compounding the problem is that they're cutting way back on OT so the roads only get plowed during one shift, two max. Once those shifts end, no plowing or salt.

Budgets are tight this year for Ingham, Eaton and Clinton counties. No salt. No OT. No public services. The money's gone and more and more people unemployed or underemployed means fewer taxes are being collected to pay for these services.

Get used to it and leave early for wherever you're going or just don't go out. That's what I'm doing.

I live in South Central Montana and it was -20 degrees this morning. burrrrrrr. We had some snow a couple of nights ago and now we are getting a cold front that will last until Wednesday. Warming up a bit just in time for Christmas and then more snow is in the forecast As I posted in another thread I am dreaming of WDW .
