There they were at 6am in the teeth of the snowstorm busily clearing the side walks and steps of the old Federal Bldg. And this is on a Saturday when the building will not open until 8am Monday. It's an unlikely crew of middle aged guys who look like they should be behind a desk.
Nicollet Mall has some pedestrian traffic mid-day during a snow storm. The people disembarking from the light rail were wishing their suitcases were equipped with skis instead of wheels. Sidewalks are plowed long before streets. Somali taxi drivers equipped with rear wheel driven cars quickly learn about winter driving.
It's now about 1:30 pm and I'm guessing we've gotten about a foot of snow with more to come. Visibility is under two blocks. Trygve loves being out in it! The Curmudgeonette loves being inside.
Trygve and I (5pm) just took another walking tour around town. Unusual sights included cross country skiers on Marquette and also on 6th street. There is a bus stuck on Nicollet Mall just off Washington. Wind is up and temperature is down, 18f; bracing!
