I don't know about the rest of the warmists, deniers, and agnostics out there, but this is quite a story.
The StarTribune is reporting:
The winter storm pushing its way into Minnesota on
Thursday snarled the evening commute, closed afternoon and evening
activities at schools, canceled some evening college classes and set
snow emergencies in motion throughout the metro area.
By the time it passes, the storm could leave the most significant snowfall of the season.
The National Weather Service (NWS)
predicted amounts of 10 inches in the core of the metro and deeper
totals in northeast and southeast suburbs.
As the storm picked up steam late in the
afternoon, near white-out conditions were reported near Mankato while
heavier snow began to fall in parts of the metro area. Transportation
officials advised no travel in the southwest and south central part of
the state, including Blue Earth, Faribault, LeSueur and, Waseca and
Watonwan counties.
By 3:45 p.m., Minneapolis
and St. Paul had declared a snow emergency, which will take effect at 9
p.m. Thursday, and the NWS reported 3 inches of snow had fallen in
Mounds View.
“Intense snowfall commencing,” the NWS said in a statement, which also noted snow with thunder in southern Minnesota.
The Weather Service added that the storm’s
target, with the metro area as the bull’s-eye, should be ready for 1 to
2 inches of snow an hour, strong winds and sharply reduced visibility
for motorists.
The Kennedy clan should probably fly out to the Twin Cities the first chance they get; this may be the last time their children and their grandchildren ever see snow.
