Good ole Minnesota; We used to get this awful weather in spades - but now due to Global Warming we gift it to folks
anywhere downwind of El Nino.
Our Halloween blizzard of 1991 didn't thaw out or allow for snow melt down until Memorial Day 1992.
Sadly for folks who are just experiencing this - it is not business as usual !
As for N/R travel it is going to be a battle royal to find a way home or to work.
Finding alternate surface transportation is going to be an effort worthy of Phineas Fogg (Around the World in 80 Days).
Amtrak doesn't go everywhere and will be terribly crowded where it does.
Greyhound and other Bus lines will have to wait till the roads are plowed and cleared.
And if you are thinking of taking a Ferry - with the winds and tidal surges it will be a bad chapter out of 'B' grade Hollywood movie.
The forecast is for things to resume normal mode sometime Monday - only hang up getting rid of all that snow.
But throw it up in the air thinking it will blow away - with the winds it is only going to come back and slap you in the face.
Make snowballs and throw them at any politician promising anything promising !


All in all - God bless and be safe to come back to another day of mayhem.
Everyone brings some happiness by coming and then some by going - I am going - don't throw the snow at me !
