Have a safe Snowpocalypse

To all of our readers who will be traveling for the holidays, here’s hoping you can avoid this:

According to a winter storm warning issued this afternoon for central and southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, the mess is expected to begin Wednesday afternoon — and go on and on.

…

The heaviest snowfall, 12 to 20 inches, likely will fall in a swath from Minneapolis to the Iowa border and west to the South Dakota border, said National Weather Service forecaster Jim Taggart.

That’s some spectacularly crummy timing for a winter storm. Stay safe!
