Good old fashioned Blizzard!

We are getting smacked with a good one up here. I am in the 18-24 inch range for snow with 50 mph winds tomorrow. This is our travel info map! Lots of closed roads and no travel advised. I just got done snowblowing for 2 hours so hopefully I can get to work!

ND Mike looks nasty, and I can say that I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about! I was in Fargo last week, the winds were gusting to 43 kts with 1 mile visibility and snow, 300 ft ceilings. It was nasty, didn’t think wind would get within limits, but it did just before landing (lucked into my smoothest one of the month lol).
No one else would leave the hotel at 0100, but I didn’t think 1/4 mile would be too far for a beer, so I headed out… let’s just say I’m super glad for my new London Fog trenchcoat! Nice Fargo Scottish Ale, was worth it!Good luck, be safe up there!

ND Mike Now, that’s some light the fire, curl up with whatever/whoever and ride that thing OUT. Yikes.

I was thinking about a blizzard from DQ and not a early Spring blizzard blizzard!

Same here. Probably the only kind of blizzard I would want to experience in April.

HerbcoFood hahahaha! I’d rather have that too!

Well, I’m stuck manning a road closed gate for now.

Don’t miss that stuff at all, picked spinach and lettuce for a nice salad out of garden yesterday.
Enjoy! lol -

ND Mike Be safe up there, hopefully the people will listen to the warnings and just stay home. I was in western Minnesota about a month ago and talked to a friend that ran a city crew and they were tired of all the snow then, by the time I left it had warmed up enough that a good melt was happening, they needed the moisture to fill the lakes back up but this is getting ridiculous.

ND Mike Just read where ND leads the nation in beer consumption, maybe that is what all the people are doing during all the blizzards you had up there this year.

ND Mike That stuff hit us on Monday while the wife and I were out on the coast for our Anniversary. We hit snow going down the coast, they were even plowing the road which is pretty much unheard of in April along the Oregon Coast. Just glad we weren’t traveling inland since they had some problems there.

johnsbrewhouse there is a good chance I won’t be able to get to my house when my shift is over. The City is only plowing emergency routes right now. Residential areas are on their own.

ND Mike Wow, we are headed home today, we are on the Washington coast now, no snow but 38 degrees and partly sunny, but they were getting some snow inland this morning. Fortunately by the time we head out, the temps will be up and it will be moved on since we are taking a longer way back rather than the normal two hour drive that does take us over some elevations which do get snow easier. Glad I don’t have to work anymore otherwise I would have been called in to prep the PD vehicles for the little bit of snow.

ND Mike Eastern ND and Western MN had a lot of snow, all winter long. They needed it to fill the lakes that were very low the summer before.

That is one ugly travel map there. Wow. Cold rain and wind here. After seeing that, I’ll take the cold rain. Be safe!
I think a nice hot toddy would be a good way to end your shift.
