The Minnesota "Blizzard" of 2007

What the "lower midwesterns" call a Blizzard, we Minnesotans call a winterstorm. We woke this morning to about 9 inches of snow and then got a couple more on top of it during the day. In all, we got about 12 inches. It was paralyzing....for about 20 minutes.It blew and drifted off the roof of the house

and off the roof of the garage.

Jim blows us out.
This is what the steps looked like. In all, not bad enough of a storm to prevent us from going to the mall this afternoon, but bad enough that we didn't get our morning donuts.
