Not sure how anyone is going to keep up with moving snow, with the amounts they're talking, and the wind speeds they are talking. Hell, gusts over 40 most of the day Sunday? Would be terrible driving with a few inches of snow, let alone what they are forecasting right now.

what about the wind and visibility issues? There are supposed be blizzard-like conditions.
You better just stay down there for the championship to be safe!
Well we now know whose fault it is...
Yeah - that's my bad. Worst part is that I'm now remembering that the drive pulley came off and I probably need to get that fixed. ****.
Take 29 north and come into Minnesota from the west? You might miss the worst part?
I think we're gonna decide to stay until Monday at this point. We don't have to be back for anything before then. But that's a smart idea!
Would be prudent to stay home IMHO considering the snow depth and wind forecast. Wind seems to be "just" a bit under giving it the full Dairy Queen moniker (aka Blizzard).
This storm will paralyze the Twin Cities. Only saving grace is it is happening on a weekend with the worst conditions happening overnight. This may be the worst storm to hit the area since the storm that collapsed the metrodome. It shouldn't take much convincing if she is reasonable
Tell your wife that her friend is a f**king moron.
I'm sure saying that will go over really well.
Leave early and you should be OK. We left Wed. for KC just before 7 a.m. and snow had just started. Had to wait a few minutes in Slater for more daylight because we couldn’t see the center line with snow blowing right at us.
EDIT: we’re leaving for home (Ames) Sunday morning when it is completely daylight. Hope this isn’t eventually filed under “famous last words.”
Well she just said we can paint the dining room instead so I guess we can risk the trip.
Better than half of Iowans. And yes - MN is better at removing snow. And this is coming from someone born in IA, lived in MN for 10 years, and moved back.
