I'd say this is blizzard-like conditions. However, we're not likely to get the 28" inches like during the 1991 Halloween Blizzard. That was horrible. This morning was very inconvenient.

Twenty-eight seems like a huge number of inches o' snow! That must have been crazy. Yesterday was definitely inconvenient, but for me it was worth it to see that for the first time. I can't imagine the one from 1991. That must have been incredibly frustrating!

I won't even bore you with the details, but it was the worst single ongoing life event ever. It went from the Boys of Summer parade, to the Halloween Blizzard (28 inches), to the Thanksgiving Blizzard, to more snow at Christmas to not a single day with sun in January and never seeing the bare sidewalks until April (maybe it was May) that year. It never ended. . .

Wow. I'm glad my first winter here wasn't like that! I know this year was mild (people won't let me forget it!), and I'm grateful for that. It's good to ease into this cold snowy stuff. :)

I'd say you're fortunate to have a nice mild winter to ease into Minnesota life.

I forgot to mention that that summer the temperatures only went above 70 like three times. It was the coldest summer I've ever experienced. The bad part was I really never put away my winter clothes that year.

Oh well. . .stay warm!!

*giggle*

After that comment about the cold winter, I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be able to! ;)

I'd say you're pretty hardy! Right? Plus you have the support of all LJers living in cold climates.

Two very good points. I think I'll be fine. And I can always build a trash can fire if I get too cold. ;)

[magicwoman]

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. . .

Tip: don't wear white in a blizzard.

Oh, wow. I can just imagine being lost because whoever I was with couldn't find me in the snow, or worse, being hit by a car because I matched the snow so well!

I can't tell you what a ridiculous fear I had my first few winters about being lost in a snow bank. Silly I know.
