It was Saturday December 11, 2010. I sat in the comfort of my living room not knowing what was going to happen. All day that day, I watched the snow fall continuously. I thought it would just taper off by evening, but when evening came, it never stopped. It snowed overnight. It snowed, and it snowed, and it snowed.
By the next morning, the snow were as high as my thighs (I am only 5 feet tall) and almost as high as my hip. I can see 35E from my living room windows. Cars were stuck and nothing was moving. There were no plow trucks, no salt trucks, and there were nothing out there. It looked as if the world (or Mn) has stopped. Cars that were stuck overnight were abandoned.
I turned on the news. No wonder why there weren't any trucks out there. They were also stuck! All day, Minnesota declared a snow emergency. No one went outside or dared to drive around; fearing they might get stuck somewhere. This was a true Minnesota winter. Stores were closed that Sunday. Church events and other events around the metro were canceled. Malls were closes, hi ways were closed, and no one dared leave. Still, the streets were left unplowed.
Monday rolled around! What about school? Work? Well, they're all closed too! This was the only time Minneapolis and St. Paul canceled school and classes two days in a row! Snow days! Mu husband Paul and I both worked in schools, and of course, we didn't get to go in to work either. My classes were canceled at the University of MN, and I spent the whole day catching up on life.
This storm was crazy! It made the roof of the Metrodome to collapse! The video of the roof collapse received 1 million + hits on Youtube! Crazy eh?! I must say, it was one hell of a storm, and I will never forget it!
