Winter storm warning!!

Has anyone else looked at the North American Sat. Just looked at Accuweathers site and this storm has evolved into a monster! Looks like an onland hurricane - felt like it too. The swirl is pulling clouds from the arctic cicle - very pronounced shape and huge area!

Is it right that the huff and the puff blew the straw house down in Craik? A web site said that couldn't happen.

after all that crazy wind, did you guys get any helpful/useful moisture out in the fields? We're hoping to get something here SESK Tues, last weekend I thought a half inch of rain would be nice to get some weeds growing and the ground warmed up, but after this past week, I'd be real happy with an inch and a half. Can't believe how the standing water has disappeared.

Just got power back after a 26 hour blackout Wadena north. The longest outage for us since the power was put in in 1956. Lucky it wasn't -40C. Dinner theater went ahead with several generators Friday night. Sure makes you realize how vulnerable we are without electricity. Any one else lose power that long now or in the past? Two 4000 bu 1 year old hopper bins at Rose Valley blew over. About 1" of snow, plus the misty stuff yesterday, very little moisture here.
