MN ladies - are you ready

[spk926]

for the snow storm tomorrow?

I went grocery shopping today so we're set there. DH will get home from deer hunting tonight and needs to get the snowblower ready and then it can start!

Oh my goodness, how much are you supposed to get?

[jene]

Yeah, we really should have went to the store today, but we should have enough to get by. We just bought a new snowblower, so we are set!

It was 78 here today.

Well that's just mean!

Not looking forward to it. I was really hoping to get more yard work done before the snow hit but oh well.

8-12+ inches depending on where you are (in and around the metro at least, not sure about outside of that).

[Saudade]

I am so so excited! I love the first snow!

[wavepool]

I'm not in MN, but this got me to look at our weather and we're supposed to have snow Friday and Saturday. That seems just crazy!

Blerg. Target was a freaking zoo tonight because of this, and I just wanted to buy some milk! I'm really hoping it's not as bad as they're predicting, because H already has an insane week due to hunting opener (he's a butcher), and he also plows for several people.

In unrelated news, I drove past your 'hood today spk926. I waved. Did you see it?

[SpartanGirl]

We're south of the cities so we're only supposed to get 3-6". I did make sure the kids had snow pants and boots that still fit them. Ugh. I'm so not ready for winter. The kids are super excited though.

[mrsfarmer]

It is supposed to hit more central MN, so directly over me. We just got a new snowblower and DD1's new snow boots came this week. Bring it on!

My girls love the snow, but I love this picture from last April's late season snow. DD1 had gone down for her nap at daycare when it was nice out and woke up to the snow.

I did a big grocery run this afternoon and am planning some serious comfort food for tomorrow night (wild rice soup and homemade bread). So thankful that I'm not commuting anymore - the first snow always brings out the idiots.

I don't think we'll end up getting as much as they are predicting - latest reports I've heard is 5-8 inches.

Yikes! I do not miss the snowstorms from when we used to live in MN! Stay warm!

[Saudade]

Where I am, we're supposed to get 1-3 overnight and 5-8 tomorrow. YEAH! Bring it!

DS1 claims he is excited but I don't think he remembers what snow is like. Maybe he does?

I'm in MT, not MN, but I'll play. We're supposed to get 2-4 inches, and then have bitterly ccoldntemperatures. Like, low of -10 Tuesday night. I'm so not ready for this.

And I'm cursing myself for llitnoring my instincts to have my snow satires installed next week. My H was all "you should wait..." Not it'll be a long wait!

I totally did!!


Glad they're saying it's not going to be as bad as originally reported. I haven't watched the news all weekend so I'm behind on my weather updates. I'm hoping to catch the 9 o'clock news here soon but that station makes everything into a crisis so we'll see what they say.

Holy crap, that's a lot of snow for the beginning of November. My brother lives north of the city and has to drive downtown every day. Thankfully he has a huge truck.

What type of snow boots did you get her?  I need some for DD1 (3.5 years old) when we visit over Thanksgiving.

[cincodemayo]

Argh. MY H and I are across the state and I'm super worried we won't get back by daycare pickup. I miss my baby!

6pm.com had bright pink Crocs - there weren't many sizes left!

[mrsfarmer]

Also, luckily - DH got the invisible fence installed for the dogs on Saturday at our new house!!!

[Saudade]

We're at 8" and it's still coming down heavily.

Love it.

[Saudade]

Ugh. Work called because so many people called in. I don't wanna! Still waiting to hear back on what thye want me to work.

[glitzy07]

It's raining ice (hailing?) in the SW metro and just raining in the NE metro. My 25 mile drive home is going to be terrifying.

[jene]

Ugh, I am supposed to go to Maplewood for a pre-employment drug screen. Hopefully it doesn't take me forever to get there

[spk926]

Where I am all we have is a dusting. :-( But 10 minutes north they're getting snow. It moved a tad too far north. Boooo

DH has lots where he works and already left for the day. He'll just work from home for the remainder of the day.

Left work at noon. It usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to get home. Today? 40-50 and only made it because I have low range 4 wheel drive on my vehicle.
