1. Allow yourself about twice as much time maybe even triple the time after any snow. Even if there's less than an inch. All of a sudden everyone WILL forget how to drive.
2. 95% of people won't shovel their driveways, in which case getting up them will be one of the hardest things achieved, and your pants will become thoroughly soaked. In which case you will immediately want to take them off because no one likes wearing soggy pants.
3. That Grandma that usually goes 20 mph under? Yes, well she's now going maybe 5 mph, and that might be pushing it.
4. There will be at least 1 but as many as probably 5 accidents on any given day during rush hour during dry roads, now mix in snow, well all hell's about to break lose.
5. Can we just have all cars sold in minnesota 4 wheel drive? Because seriously trying to get out of a driveway/parking lot/road that has snow on it without 4 wheel drive before a car comes and hits you is hard. Wheels squeal, spin, and can't get any traction.
6. Sometimes if we're really lucky and mother nature just feels really generous Winter will last from October-April.
7. This year we got lucky and the city decided that they didn't want to plow any side streets until this past Thursday/Friday. 4 days after the snow came. It was great.-----> This is exactly what every road looks like.
8. And even better main highways had ice-packed snow on them for at least 2 days. It's crazy.
And THAT my friends is how you know it's a minnesota winter.
