Twin Cities Minnesota Blizzard December 11, 2010




This video was taken through the windows of our home in Rosemount, Minnesota, showing the blizzard that closed major freeways and highways because of the snow and the wind. Storm total snow accumulation of 12 to 17 inches and tonight it will get down to -9 F (-22 C).

Forcasted for today was going to be snow. Snow started at midnight this morning. It will continue this afternoon and it will snow into the night. Catriona, a friend of ours from Scotland, wanted to come and stay with us in January (sometime). Umm… well… winter can be good and it can be bad as evidenced in the video on this post. I really think that she would like it here better in late summer. She would really like the State Fair and the shopping at the Mall of America. At that time, Cliff, Zoaunne and I could show her how to catch her limit in fish in one of our lakes.

I went outside to brush the snow off my car, shovel the sidewalk and clear off the driveway with the snow blower. The wind is blowing from 20 to 30 MPH (32 – 48 KMH) so that makes the wind chill very cold! It seemed that I no sooner got done clearing it all off, when the snow was already starting to drift up again.Will be at it again later...

  1. Looking at the video it looks like I need to fill that bird feeder. I also need to combine the two used suet cakes into one basket and put a new suet cake in the remaining basket.
