The Great Blizzard of 2010
Dec

2010
There was a lot of snow-related happenings this weekend:
- The roof of the Minneapolis Metrodome collapsed, forcing a rescheduling of the NFL game that was to be held there.
- As of last night, which is several hours before the buses would start running, the local TV channel was reporting 81 schools / school districts were closed for Monday.
- I got to try my new snowthrower!
No pictures of the snowthrower in action, but it works. After I tested it on our driveway, I took a quick stroll (20 mph winds and below-freezing temperatures do not allow for leisurely strolls) down the driveway and took some pictures.
Our road – looks a lot like last year’s winter weather photo
Neighbor’s pine trees
Our apple tree
Nothing spectacular to report – no downed power lines or damaged buildings here. Just enjoying the scenery and preparing for the slow commute to work this morning.
Out of the south comes the storm, And out of the north the cold.

I would be dead.
I live in the desert. We have no need of snowthrowers. I don’t actually know what one looks like or how to use it.
You know how some people are horrible at driving in the snow? Yeah, that’s me. The one in lane next to you, sliding down the road backwards, gaping at you with a petrified “Save me!” face.
I don’t know where you live, but I’m sorry to say I won’t be visiting you any time soon.

Driving in the snow isn’t bad – it’s the ice that’s the real problem. Some major roads around here yesterday had some semi trucks just parked along the side of the road because they could not make it up the icy inclines.
