We're getting nailed with a blizzard warning in the MN Twin Cities area also

they keep saying it’s going to be like our famous Halloween blizzard of 1991 - I’m in your boat, I was only 7 then when that happened.

Stay safe John, and hope you get a little break from the book to spend time with your family. I’m looking forward to the 2010 edition.

Merry Christmas

Santa?

Hopefully Santa was able to make a safe landing on your roof. In the east we’re having a lot of cold rain and high winds -pretty sure I see some skid marks in the remaining snow where Santa might have made a crash landing.

Stay warm and safe and enjoy being with your family.
