SNOW 12/14/05 PM

Just in time to get right in the middle of my chemotherapy -- two inches this morning with an additional three inches throughout the day and possibly another inch tomorrow. Then we go back into the deep freeze. The good thing is that we can ride the shuttle today and tomorrow. Friday the show should be plowed off the roads so we can drive in at 6 AM to begin the twelve hour infusion process.

2:30 PM... Well, you know you are getting some serious snow in Minneapolis when they declare a snow emergency and the schools are closed. When a snow emergency is declared, it is illegal to park in snow plow routes among other things. According to the WCCO noon weather, we are in the 3 to 6 inch band of the show storm. We should keep getting snow off and on until Friday. It isn't a real big deal for us so far because we can ride the shuttle to the clinic and the roads are still slushy enough so we can still drive on them if we need to.

7 PM... The WCCO weather guy said we got six inches already with about another one inch to come and colder temperatures. I went out about four and raked the six inches of wet snow off the car. After tonight it could become three inches of ice with three inches of crust and an inch of light powder on top. Brooming wet snow is preferable to chipping ice.
