shanenin Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 the snow cover really varied in Minnesota. We got just under 12 inches where we live, just shy of a record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I JUST heard on the local weather report about all the snow you folks have been getting. Ughhhhh and hoping we don't get that much, but with the prevailing winds, I'm betting we get your leftovers. We're "predicted" to get 1-6 inches of the junk. Sure hope not, but this evening we've had rain, wind, snow, sleet, thunder, lightning and cold. Everything under the sun but sun!You folks with your pleasant weather make me so jealous!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 it was 79 the past 2 days here. I thought I was in a comma for 5 months and woke up in spring. It was in the 50's the day before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robroy Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 yeah it was 77 here in Eastern West Virginia, beautiful day. The shame is that it won't last Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 we got about an 1/8 of an inch here in Des Moines, IA. I'm looking out my window now and almost all of it is melted already. What is left will be gone today.I'm not complaining, up in Algona which is 3 counties north of me, got 13 inches of it.The thing that really cracks me up when it comes to winter, and I'm just as guilty, is people complaining about the snow if they in the northern half of the country. Why is it that we live here, and complain about the snow? If we don't like it why don't we all move south where it's warmer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
