  1. Why do the news folk act like it’s a new phenomenon every year, that weather is typical for Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin,,,, I lived in Twin Cities for nearly 20 years, originally from the Chicago area,,, I’ve seen blizzards as early as Halloween and as late as May in Minnesota,,,, I live in California now, believe it or not I miss the snow,,, blizzards, accidents, white outs to be expected this time of year in the northern Midwestern states, it’s been like that forever

  2. I live in the west but had to travel to Minneapolis on my way to Williston N.D. for work and saw so many miserable winters there. I'm retired now and am very happy I don't have to do that anymore! To those who live there, stay safe and good luck!

  3. Mid west is a strong word, i live in the midwest and havent seen a single snow flake yet, it was 75 and sunny two days ago. Wonder how many years old the videos they are using are. Because the weather and their reporting doesnt match.

  4. I pray in Wisconsin the most snow ever seen to make something for it, to get somewhere with this with Technology going along with it, Fault Tolerant Quantum Computer 2029, Quantum Internet reading universe program Stargate flight doing better than money restore experience time in advancements nature in technology doing better than death everything in life Aliens among us and God bless America the future and life extension of the universe. Amen. God bless.

  5. I liked how there was a van patiently making it's way forward with all the other cars on the road with the word Swift on it! Good metaphor! Like the phrase goes "Festina lente" – which means to make haste slowly. Good suggestions given about keeping distance between the other drivers and to slow down. I don't drive but I remembered hearing something if I'm correct about how brakes don't react as quickly in colder weather conditions especially if there's snow, so maybe it would a good idea to factor that into the equation too. Take care and remember it's not how fast you reach your destination but that you get there safely. Angel blessings from Courtenay Rhennick in Ireland xx
