Lots of bumperstickers in the U.P. say that, and with good reason: the whole place's economy depends on getting snow early, often, and late. I was momentarily thrilled by our early-November snow here in NFLD, but that's all long gone, and right now we're getting a cold, pelting rain. It might turn to snow tomorrow, in which case maybe I will be able to ski in November. Those poor bastards on the cross-country World Cup circuit are running into the same trouble: lack of snow in central and southern Europe means they might have to switch venues from Italy to Norway for next weekend's races. It's an inconvenient truth that they'd trade down from pizza and espresso to herring and watery coffee.
Blowing & Drifting
Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
