We have gotten quite a bit of snow this winter, especially since the end of 2006. I don't have snow totals, but this past weekend we got about 1/2 inch of ice on Saturday and 12 inches of snow from Saturday until Sunday. That necessitated the postponement of two birthday parties for PowerKid, the Youngest. He and eldest didn't mind too much since they and dad got to play outside in the snow. Dad got to hear the manly roar of the snowblower.
But as *PowerSister, the Eldest would say, "I'm all funned out on winter." So naturally, another winter storm is apparently heading this way.
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA FROM WEDNESDAY INTO FRIDAY. THE SNOW WILL COME IN TWO
ROUNDS. THE FIRST WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY WHEN SIX OR MORE INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE. THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME FREEZING RAIN OVER FAR SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA. A BRIEF BREAK IN THE SNOW MAY OCCUR WEDNESDAY
NIGHT..ESPECIALLY OVER WEST CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL AREAS OF
MINNESOTA. HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE HEAVY SNOW WILL
SPREAD BACK IN ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS
STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM MISSOURI INTO WISCONSIN.
SIX TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW COULD OCCUR DURING THIS PERIOD. IN
ADDITION...THERE WILL BE INCREASING WIND...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL AREAS OF MINNESOTA...WITH
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW OCCURRING.
What did I say earlier? Diminishing returns to snow may be setting in.
*PowerSister, the Eldest notes in the comments that I forgot to refer to her by her rightfully-earned title "Powersister." Obviously that has been fixed. It should also be noted that said sister is one of two, and the eldest in the family. Thus "the Eldest."
