The Great Blizzard of '10

Best line so far in this morning's blizzard coverage comes from Jason Derusha at WCCO. A sedan was trying to turn a corner just outside their downtown studio and got stuck in a ridge of snow in the intersection, thus blocking part of the road and making it even harder for other traffic to negotiate the intersection. Jason's comment went something like this:

Be realistic, people. If you see a ridge of snow on the street and you're driving an Escort, it's not gonna happen. Basically it comes down to, if you're out driving around in this stuff, don't be an idiot.


The next best line comes from the traffic guy, who has made a running joke of throwing shots from the Lowry tunnel into the mix of traffic cam views, as he says "Hey look, I found a place it's not snowing!"


Apparently one gets a little punchy in the 4th straight hour of covering a blizzard. :)


Choral Girl, I know I talked a good game yesterday about blizzards not being able to stop InVocation, but I'm starting to reconsider that position. . .
