Thank you, sir, may I have another?

The TV weather people are being administered oxygen on the air. See, there’s a blizzard coming to northern Minnesota. All this after last weekend’s oppressive snow storm. And in April! Here’s what I’m hearing around the region.

I hear it’s the storm to end all storms!

I hear the snow from this blizzard are the frozen tears of a dying Zeus!

I hear this blizzard will cause us to convert to an ice-based economy!

Which of these is true? Only the weather of the next 24 hours will tell. But for everyone who reads this blog, let me answer all your repetitive small talk questions.

Yes, I heard that it might snow. Yes, I heard that it might be a lot of snow. Yes, it is too bad that we haven’t seen spring yet. Yes, it would be nice to have Friday off. No, I am not driving to the Cities on Friday. Yes, this sucks. Yes, it’s supposed to nice in April. No, I don’t know how many inches we’ll get. Probably a lot. Or else not as many as they’re saying. No, you can’t trust the weathermen. Yes, maybe they’ll be right this time. Or not. No, I can’t believe the Twins are building an open air ballpark. Yes, I bet they regret that. No. No. Yes. Uffda. Eh? Random grunts to indicate interest.

Enjoy the blizzard, people.
