Snowstorm

It's really tough to put 17" of snow in perspective (yes, this is the snowstorm that collapsed the metrodome). Or as Dad said, "1 and a half E's." Actually, E is over 20" tall, but the snow certainly looks like it's taller than he is!

We were supposed to have a party that day. At about 10:00 I called around to see how people were feeling. They all assured me they would be here - we live in MN, and we're close! About noon, people started to cancel. It was deep! The airport, the mail service, and the city buses all shut down because it was so deep. I officially get a Minnesota tough badge, but won't publicly admit why ;-)
