i know, i was referring to nyc, we only got 5 inches, which btw was quite beautiful as it fell monday night, but was instantly grey, icy muck afterward and still is. of course long island got 2 feet and they sure got hammered to the ne as well, so that juno storm was too close for comfort! i would also say the snow is usually even different in msp, being more often an endless powdery haze than our sucky heavy wet stuff out here.
