Minnesota snow

[josh_butler]

I don't know about everyone else that lives here but I haven't been this excited for a snow storm in years. Bring on the Bleeezard!!!!!!!!

[doospunk]

Gotta love it! I know it's gonna cause a lot of travel pains for people, but I think it's just great that we're gonna get the brunt of it Christmas Eve and Day. Just adds to the whole Christmas experience!

[Skidooski]

I'm pumped!!! Just cancelled my trip to Green Bay for Christmas. Sleds are pointed towards the garage door and ready to roll. Hope I don't get to exited and forget to open the garage door before taking off!

[robinson]

SOOOO EXCITED!!! we havent had this in soooo long :) gonna make traveling a little bit of a pain but it will be worth it!

[elf]

This is looking awesome! Heading up the north shore on Sunday for a week of playing in the snow!

[mulchatna]

Game on....

[zimmbob]

Wright Co. Mafia is just pumped! FINALLY.... was so tired of seeing those storms stay in Iowa....... Rip 'em up!!!!

[zimmer1310]

leaving tomorrow for St. Cloud area for a couple days and then back home on Saturday. The weather terrorists are saying 12-15 in the Mankato area. Was out last night and the trails are groomed and in real good shape from LeCenter, Cleveland, Waterville, Mankato areas.

[yamahauler]

Absolutely fricken awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great for the snowmobile and tourism industry that has taken a bad beaten for quite some time.

[samc]

Can't wait. Riding/testing Sat! Bring it on.

Looks like our Christmas wishes have been granted. Driving up to Emily, MN family place from Cincinnati this weekend to get a week of sledding with my son. He just got his safety certificate two weekends ago and can't wait to get on his '96 Indy Lite project sled.

We were getting pretty worried there wouldn't be enough snow. Now I'm just hoping the plows will have done their work before we come through so can just drive right in and jump on the sleds.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here Bleeezard, Bleeezard. Here Bleeezard, Bleeezard.

That should do it.

I usually am very excited about these storms, but family comes first and we have had to cancel a large get together 'cause some have a great distance to travel and that really bums me out.

[snoflies]

I haven't been this excited for Christmas since I was a little kid. While family is important, a storm like this doesn't happen every year!

[sledheadprox2]

This may be the best present any of us sled junkes
could ask for.
GOT TO LOVE IT!
THINK SNOW!!!

I hope you mud ducks get a lot of snow. It will keep the traffic down in the UP.

[super_b]

Bring on the snow!! I sure hope that their predictions are correct!

[jroz]

I hope you mud ducks get a lot of snow. It will keep the traffic down in the UP.

I guess our tourism dollars aren't appreciated by everyone in the UP.

[snowlover]

This is just what we needed! I will be spending a lot of time in my truck plowing Christmas Day and early Saturday morning but it will be well worth it when my boys and I can go rip it up. Heading up to Detroit Lakes Saturday afternoon and hoping to play on the lake and farm.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

[tyler_fisher]

post lots of pictures!

[josh_butler]

I just hope this storm isnt like the Vikings and lets us down again. Up north resorts really need this, not mention my children all asked for a big snowstorm for Christmas.

I am flying through minneapolis tommorow night about 9:45 on our way to rapid city, sd what is the chance I will make it from atlanta to minneapolis to rapid city. If you were a betting man what would you put my chances

[robinson]

slim to none

[FrozenH2O]

Enjoy it guys. Here in N.Il we are gonna get ice and rain. Wish I was with Ya!

[maddog24]

Slim to none, and slim left town. I would be thinking of a reroute now.

[blvette]

any updates up there, I tried to reroute but everything is booked up, If we get stuck in minneapolis atleast I can go snowmobiling for a day up there but just want to know if we will make it that far, should get in minn around 9:45 tonight

[elf]

I'd be surprised if you get in tonight to Mpls. Just saw on the news that they are determined to keep one runway open but I have to imagine everything is going to be delayed so bad and the heaviest snow isn't supposed to hit til late this afternoon. Good luck!

[doogirl]

We had to cancel family plans also, but hey, we can eat just as much on Sunday as today, and I would way rather see the snow. I am so excited to have this Christmas blizzard. Hope everyone uses common sense and is careful about travel. The calender is not as important as your life, and turkey, ham or pie taste just as good two days later. The boom for our depressed economy up north here is the big winner. Our group of twenty or so riders almost canceled our trip to Grand Rapids, MN coming up this Tuesday, but are so happy that we can now go enjoy our great trails here in MN. Anyone from Grand Rapids area have a current snow report for me? Yahoo, ( spontaneous bursts of joy)

[trailshredder]

Well??? Is the storm hitting anywhere yet??

[jhsledhed]

Little disappointed so far! Only maybe 8" and melting 34 here in Vergas!

[bigkev]

15 inches nortwest iowa

[sledbike]

In Mankato we have a foot in the fields & its wet & heavy !!

[zimmbob]

About 10" and melting in Monticello. Very wet and heavy. Hope it cools down. 36 degrees right now. maybe some more tonight. going to go riding tomorrow no matter what.

[kevisip]

Its raining here in the L MTKA area. Hope my truck doors dont freeze.

did you make it in??

[amo]

Reporting in from Duluth. Downtown is a mess with fast melting slush; HOWEVER, over the hill got pretty hammered. Unofficially, I'd say they got between 16-20" I'll be riding towards the NSST and will report in on trail conditions. I suspect the North Shore came out with some big totals as well.

[griff]

well that big storm left a bunch of slush and not alot of snow just north of st paul. anybody have any reports north like Hinkley?

[rmk4ever]

It's the same in hinckley, whole lotta slush! Was between 14-16 inches before the rain, now it's more like 8.

[blvette]

made it to rapid city,sd without a problem. Our lugguage has not hopefully it will show up soon. Now looking for snowmobile to rent out of rapid city, sd. It is extremely cold right now with light snowfall
