A Winter Storm for the Weekend
It looks like Minnesota is finally
getting a good dose of snow!
Minnesotans are bracing for a good old-fashioned
winter storm. The wind has been blowing hard all day, and some snow has started
falling here in the Twin Cities this evening. According to the forecasts, the
snow will continue right through the weekend, tapering off Sunday night or
Monday. Though the temperatures will stay mostly in a moderate range of 20 to
30 degrees Fahrenheit, it looks like wind speeds will be in a corresponding
range of 20 to 30 mph much of the
time.
Fortunately, I don't expect to have any very compelling need to go anywhere, so I can stay home and enjoy the storm if travel conditions are as bad as the forecast suggests. Peg is scheduled to work at the library both Saturday and Sunday, but we'll see whether the library even opens!
Last winter we bought snowshoes. We used them only once, just to try them out, in snow that didn't really require such equipment. Maybe now they will actually prove to be useful.
Of course, weather forecasting is still an imprecise enterprise, so who knows what will actually happen? Assuming we don't lose contact with the outside world, I'll try to post an update or two as the weekend goes on.
