Snow Storm 2012 Dec 31 2011 , Jan 1 2012, Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is the first substantial snow fall in the Minneapolis, Saint Paul area this winter. It has been a very strange, warm winter, with bare ground everywhere. It finally has the feel of winter here which should have started about two months ago. It is going to warm up, so this snow cover will not last long. Is it Global Warming or just a weird winter? I think sometimes long term patterns are easier to predict than short term patterns. There is enough snow finally to go sliding and make snowmen and probably go cross-country Skiing. I don't cross-country ski, so I really don't know how much snow that takes.

@Sosthene57, check my latest video. I used what is called a headlamp. It is a flashlight, as the British would say 'torch' attached to an elastic headband.

@virtualguitarist, it should be a short winter. We've already missed out on two months of it.
