The ride home from NMD....

Drive safe...

Drive safe...

Thanks.  Made it home fine.

We went through Osseo just before a 40 car pileup. You can see it on Facebook.  There were some maniacs on the road...both cars and semis.

https://www.fox9.com/news/388676673-video

There was a spot where we were doing 30. A pickup passed us at about 50 into a whiteout caused by the semi infront of us in the right lane about 200 yards ahead.  Another semi came up on the left easily at 65 and was going to rear end the pickup that just passed us.  The semi infront of us merged into the left lane to protect the pickup that was surely going to get rear ended.  The speeding semi slowed down enough to avoid the truck that switched lanes to block it. I'm positive the pickup would have otherwise been rear ended. 

Man, there are some stupid, stupid people.  The drive took us 90 extra minutes, but we are alive.

Glad you made it home Brother Chili. LBK doesn't look so bad huh?

Some of the blue hairs in the Publix parking lot in LBK are just as dangerous.

We went through Osseo

Home of Norske Nook.

I trust you got off I 94 and slammed into the Nook for some lefse followed up by their world famous pie?

You know, nothing takes the edge off a 40 car pile up like a slice of hot steaming pie. Better yet, you would have been there for their evening pie which is far more succulent than the day shift's offering.

The thing about the Nook is that they begin by hand rolling the dough. What better way to start an experience which ends with hot pie in your mouth?
 
Cherry or Apple, Chili?

Perkins Pie vs The Nook Pie?

How you say...Plymouth vs Ferrari?

You may have confused Osseo, MI for Osseo, WI. Good thing you weren't a navigator?

There is an Osseo in MI?

Osseo must mean small, cold, out of the way place in some language.

Is that before or after Climax?

My daughter and her husband live in Seattle. They have had more snow the last 2 weeks than they had in the first 10 years they lived there combined.

City is mostly closed down, she says. Her MU club even canceled their NMD viewing party!

We are getting maybe 2 inches of snow today.  It is going to warm up and melt by the weekend.  Today will be the first time I've actually had to shovel this winter.

Usually I've shoveled about a half dozen times by now at least.  Strange winter.  The one bitter cold streak a few weeks back was fortunately without precipitation.

Bought an offbrand snowblower a few years ago.  Regretted it almost right away.  3 service calls in 4 years, and the one clean year it was in storage.

Went out this year and bought a big Toro.  3 uses and the damned thing wont start today.  Super irritated.

Ditto for me.

Windchills in So Cal below freezing last night and tonight.  Snowing in Malibu, Rancho Cucamonga, the valley, etc.  Snow level dropped to 1000 feet. 

Fun times

Maybe not as cut and dry as you'd think.

I had a Toro snowblower.  It was the worst piece of crap I have ever owned.  Just garbage, right from the start.

WTF does Toro know about clearing snow?  They don't even go outside in Minnesota during the winter, they've got skywalks and subways all over the place.  JayBee has to take 50,000 IU of Vitamin D every few hours just to stave off the rickets... the only fresh oxygen he's getting is on DirecTV channel 251... you could balance the white levels on your iPhone camera with his forehead... he watches The Shining and thinks that Jack guy really knows how to keep his composure.

If you want the very best in snow throwing technology, you go with the good ol' God-(not snow)-fearing Wisconsin company, not some snow baby Minnesota cooperative.

Nasty driving conditions today in the Fox Valley.  100 vehicle pile up near Neenah.  One death.  Keep safe!
