The Big Blizzard of 2010
We had a real Minnesota blizzard this weekend. The grand, “official” total for the storm in our town was 16.0″. This weekend’s storm was the 2nd biggest snow storm in our city's recorded weather history. Our monthly snow total for December is already at 25.5″. I am quite certain that we'll have a white Christmas.
The storm canceled many of our plans and made getting Ella home from the Nutcracker performances she as part of on Saturday really quite scary. We intended to watch Saturday's final ballet performance, but decided to just bring Ella home after her part was finished and attempt not to be one of the many people stuck in the middle of the road.
We made a big pot of soup on Saturday night and listened to the snow blow. In the morning, we were literally snowed in. Our deck patio door was covered with a big drift all the way to the top.
To compare, this is what our house looked like after the nine inches of snow we received the previous Saturday.
