The recent blizzard brought about 20 inches of snow, snarled traffic for days, had the Twin Cities call for an unheard of "Two Days" of Snow Days and really created a general mess (metrodome collapse, anyone?). However, it sure was/is beautiful. We all got a little stir crazy when it was going on. The temps were far too low and dangerous at first to get out and "play" in the snow. But it was a fun, and unique experience. Minnesota is definitely used to a lot of snow - just not that much at once. We even had to get out the roof rake (an actual real Minnesota homeowners tool) to clear some snow off the roof in the midst of the blizzard to make sure our roof was not overburdened. Hmmm...maybe they should have thought of that for the Metrodome! :)
Here are some fun pics. They should make you want to jump on a plane right away for a visit, I would think...........

Look who lost a tooth!!!!
Our front light and trees. Just *slightly* buried (As in about 2/3)
My minivan. She's chilly.
Kids in the snow in front of our swingset. Which is pretty much completely buried.
